take something like a body of information with multiple levels of
organization. for example, when i was working for the DOD, i had an
installation. this had major commands associated with it. these macoms had
people assocated with them. inefficiently, you might index the data so the
installation hashes into the first dimension, the macom the second, and the
person in the third.
i don't think that a nasty tone is necessary for clarification. i imagine
if you asked your clarification question a bit more politely, you might have
gotten more answers.

Subject: why use 3rd dimensional array??? You dont understand!
BAH! This is what i mean.
What are the PRACTICAL real life uses for 3rd dimensional arrays?
ANALOGY if u still dont understand.
In trig, we learned how to figure out volume using the shell, disc, and i
forget the other one. Ok, big deal.
however, the practical use of this is to measure the volume of a hill and
figure out how much of it you're gonna chop off so u can biuld a house on it
blah blah blah.
I understand how 3 dimensional arrays work programmatically. but i wanna
know the practical uses of it
