Multi-dimensional arrays

The arrays in the C# language do not need to have only one dimension. It is also possible to create two-dimensional or even three-dimensional arrays. To start with, let's take a look at an example regarding the declaration and initialization of a two-dimensional array with 5 rows and 2 columns:

int[,] numbers = new int[5, 2]; 

If you want to create a three-dimensional array, the following code can be used:

int[, ,] numbers = new int[5, 4, 3]; 

Of course, you can also combine a declaration with an initialization, as shown in the following example:

int[,] numbers = new int[,] = 
{ 
    { 9, 5, -9 }, 
    { -11, 4, 0 }, 
    { 6, 115, 3 }, 
    { -12, -9, 71 }, 
    { 1, -6, -1 } 
};
