arrays of arrays?

[Martin Buschkühl]

Hi,

maybe you can solve your problem with the use of multi-dimensional 
arrays. You have to declare such an array as follows:

dim array(3,3)

In this case, a variable (i.e. a two dimensional array) containing a 4 x 
4 matrix (with a base index of 0) is declared. You are then able to 
access each item in this matrix by defining its coordinates with the two 
numbers in the brackets. You can find further information about 
multi-dimensional arrays on this website:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array#Multi-dimensional_arrays

Note, that the function "randomizearray" does not work with 
multi-dimensional arrays.

Best,

Martin.
