Re: why use 3rd dimensional array??? You dont understand!

2001-02-05 Thread Peter Theobald

Like the definition of a 3 dimensional array says, a 3 dimensional array is useful for 
storing any information that has 3 independent variables. There are as many examples 
of this as there are problems in the world that need programs written.

One example from my latest project: My client's web site presents a questionnaire to 
the user. The questions are re-worded slightly depending on the "Industry" the user is 
in, for example it might ask "What concert hall is the concert held in?" or "What 
stadium is the game played in" or "What town is the race located in?", all for the 
question "LOCATION". The questionnaire's are also presented in the users language, 
English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish.

So we have three independent variables: QuestionName, Industry, and Language.

question[ QuestionName ] [ Industry ] [ Language ] = QuestionText

RE: why use 3rd dimensional array??? You dont understand!

2001-02-05 Thread Christopher Olive, CIO

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.

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

2001-02-05 Thread Philip Arnold - ASP

> What are the PRACTICAL real life uses for 3rd dimensional arrays?

OK, we have an aquarium application which works out the relevant products
required to get the water to the best condition for the fish

There are several parameters which determine the water quality (dimension 1)
Within these there is the values for each of the test (dimension 2)
Within each of these if is the relevant info, i.e. value, rating and "Color"
(dimension 3)

It's easier to do in a 3 dimensional array as using Evaluate can be a pain
to read
I could do the last dimension in a Structure, but when I wrote it (about 2.5
years ago) I knew how to do arrays, but didn't really know you could put
structures into arrays...

BTW, this is a practical real-world example as people use this on-line to
test their water in their own home... it's done in CF rather than JS so
people can't read the calculations...

I can step in here.

I have used 3 dimensional arrays to store weather data for specific sites.
I have several sensors across several locations on a site that I need to
track over time.

My array looks like:

reading[SiteID][SessorFarmID][Time]

This is used in a non-web language, but a similar situation could envisioned
for Cold Fusion or JavaScript.
