An array with more than one index (dimension) and that  allows you to store data in a table or matrix format  like rows and columns is called Multidimensional array.

Types of Multidimensional Array are mention below:

1. Two-Dimensional Array (2D Array):

  • Most common type

  • Think of it like a table or matrix

Example 

 int marks[2][3] = {
    {85, 90, 95},
    {88, 92, 96}
};

2. Three-Dimensional Array (3D Array):

  • Adds depth to the 2D array

  • Used in complex systems like 3D games, image processing

Example :

 int cube[2][3][4]; // 2 blocks, 3 rows, 4 columns

Uses of Multidimensional Arrays:

  • Storing data in matrix form (math, graphics)

  • Tables, grids, game boards

  • Storing images, where each pixel can have R, G, B values
