In a multi-dimensional array, all the dimensions but the first (or last?) are fixed in size. Unfortunately, these are fixed at compile time, so there's no way to write a function that can act upon multidimensional arrays of arbitrary size. So we get the joy of writing terms like m[i+n*j] to deal with matrices...
In C99, you can use variable-length arrays for that, though compiler support for that feature is lacking (in particular, GCC still gets VLAs wrong). -- Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho http://antti-juhani.kaijanaho.info/ Blogi - http://kaijanaho.info/antti-juhani/blog/ Toys - http://www.cc.jyu.fi/yhd/toys/
