Flowgorithm Array Types

Table of Contents

Overview

In this tutorial, we will learn about Flowgorithm Array Types. In general, Arrays are classified based on their dimensions. For example,

One-Dimensional Array ( 1D Array)
Multi-dimensional Arrays
- Two-Dimensional Array ( 2D Array )
- Higher dimensions.

Flowgorithm only directly supports only one-dimensional array as of now.

Single Dimensional Array

Single dimensional arrays have only one dimension either a row or a column. The fruits array is an example of a single-dimensional array. We can refer to the single-dimensional array as a 1D array in short form. We need only one index to refer to the array element.

Two-Dimensional Array

Two-dimensional arrays have both rows and columns. A chessboard is an example of a two-dimensional array. We can refer to the two-dimensional array as a 2D Array in short form. We need two index variables to refer to each array element. One index for the row and another for the column.

For example:
Each square can be thought of as an array element and can be referred to as

board[i][j]

i is the index for the row and j is the index for the column.

In Chess game terminology, the row is called rank and the column is called a file on a chessboard.

A normal Chessboard with 8 rows and 8 columns.
