Arrays Of Arrays: Multi-Dimensional Arrays

Notes for the required material 

• These notes can be purchased in the Student Union Copy Center at cost
• Arrays in Pascal (Leestma & Nyhoff  Sections 11.1, 11.2, you may also want to read through Section 11.3  and 11.4 for additional examples that employ multi-dimensional arrays): [PowerPoint] [Acrobat]

Optional teaching material

Although the notes cover the syntax of arrays that are greater than two dimensions it would be beneficial for students to see an example that illustrated how and when one would use such a data structure in a 'real life' example.
