Multi-dimensional arrays are those data structures that span across more than one dimension.
A multidimensional array in MATLABŪ is an array with more than two dimensions. In a matrix, the two dimensions are represented by rows and columns. ... Multidimensional arrays are an extension of 2-D matrices and use additional subscripts for indexing. A 3-D array, for example, uses three subscripts.
This indicates that there will be more than one index variable for every point of storage. This type of data structure is primarily used in cases where data cannot be represented or stored using only one dimension. Most commonly used multidimensional arrays are 2D arrays.
2D arrays emulates the tabular form structure which provides ease of holding the bulk of data that are accessed using row and column pointers.
