In Python, an array is a block of memory-contiguous data of a specific type with a header that contains the indexing scheme and the data type descriptor.
Thanks to the indexing scheme, an array can represent a multidimensional data structure where each element is indexed with a tuple of n integers, where n is the number of dimensions. Therefore, if your array is unidimensional (that is, a vector of sequential data), the index will start from zero (as in Python lists).
If it is bidimensional, you'll have to use two integers as an index (a tuple of coordinates of type x,y); if there are three dimensions, the number of integers used will be three (a tuple x,y,z), and so on.
At each indexed location, the array ...
