Top Forums Programming Calling an array of arrays in C. Post 303023119 by Azrael on Wednesday 12th of September 2018 06:55:35 AM

Thank you for the response apmcd47. I was beginning to wonder if anyone would reply. However, I'm not trying to make a 3D array. Either that or I have my terminology wrong. What I'm trying to achieve is a 1D array that holds references to 2D arrays and be able to call them.

I believe I've already got them initialized with the code already mentioned:
Code:
int (*side_one[MATRIX][MATRIX])[MATRIX] = { { white_l1, white_l2, white_l3 }, { white_m1, white_m2, white_m3 }, { white_r1, white_r2, white_r3 } };

Which was in this post that was mentioned to. Perhaps Corona688 provide me with a 3D array in that post, but I though (*side[][])[] was different than (*side[][][]), no?

If you know a better way to call lists of two-dimensional arrays I would be more than happy to learn this. However, I'm afraid you may have confused this post with a 3D array instead.

Either way, thank you for the reply!

EDIT: Also curious why you would not recommend C for arrays of 3D or larger? I understand that C supports up to 10 dimensions of arrays, which is more than any other language I know. Perhaps you were making this recommendation due to easy of use? If so, I'm not sure that a higher level language would be good for the rest of my code, but if you have suggestions I would be open to hear which ones.
