Re: Can anyone tell me how ARRAY Works?

-----------------------------------

an array is essentially a single variable that holds many values. these values can be integers, strings, reals, or any other type.

a tutorial on arrays in general:
http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=14333

and more specific to any tile based game, including battleship (if you don't read the first one, this probably won't make sense)

Think of it as a table.

1D array has only rows or cols

2D has rows and cols

and so on, now each array holds a certain type of data wither it be string int and so froth 

that data is being organized in an array giving it a specific location (rows, cols)

that should be a very basic understanding for you, I hope do visit the links and read the tuts
