converting n-array into 1D array

the following rule is to convert 2D array into 1D array

Code:

---

[i][j]=(array+(i*row-length+j))

---

what is the rule for converting nD array into 1D array

can someone help :)

array+å(k=1 to n)i_kÕ(j=1 to k)d_j

d_j being the j'th dimension and i_k the index for k'th dimension

Here's the rule for 3D array

[x][y][z]=*(array+((x*maxy)+y)*maxz+z)=array[((x*maxy)+y)*maxz+z]

If you need to use 1D as >3D array, I think you should consider to re-design your data structure to use 1D array as it is.

I think your keyboard rendered it useless keda.

See this thread for my implementation of a n-dim array:
