How to get all 24 rotations of a 3-dimensional array?

A die (half a pair of dice) is handy for observing the 24 different orientations, and can suggest operation sequences to generate them. You will see that any of six faces can be uppermost, and the sides below can be rotated into four different cardinal directions. Let us denote two operations: “turn” and “roll”, where … Read more

Maximum number of dimensions in a Java array

The Java language does not limit the number of dimensions, but the Java VM spec limits the number of dimensions to 255. For example, the following code will fail to compile: class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { final int[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] … Read more

Difference between array.GetLength(0) and array.GetUpperBound(0)

Take a look at this (rarely used) method. From Docs: public static Array CreateInstance(Type elementType, int[] lengths, int[] lowerBounds) Creates a multidimensional Array of the specified Type and dimension lengths, with the specified lower bounds. With it, you can create an array with indices from -5 … +5. If you ever use this kind of … Read more
