Arrays may be either 1-dimensional or multidimensional depending on the language etc, arrays are specifically 1-dimensional. (Just explaining for any wanderers who don't already know these technical details.) | |
| Aug 25, 2016 at 8:57 | comment | added | Timotheos | Why would a tuple need to be representing a row and a column as (row, column)? Just because 2-tuples frequently represent (row, column) doesn't mean all tuples must. I can't see a reason why a tuple can't represent all the data in a row or all the data in a column if so desired. | |
