public interface Hypermatrix

The Hypermatrix superclass provides an abstract encapsulation for extended matrices. Hypermatrices are also known as MultiArrays. Please recall that 10 elements in 10 dimensions is 10 power 10 total elements, therefore probably more than your system is able to handle.

Method Summary

int[]	getDimensions() Returns the array of dimensions.
java.lang.Number	getElement(int[] position) Returns the element at position given by the array of int.
int	numDimensions() Returns the number of dimensions.
int	numElements() Returns the total number of elements.
int	numElements(int i) Returns the number of elements for the given dimension.
java.lang.Object	toArray() Converts this hypermatrix to an array of n dimensions
java.lang.Object	toArray(Hypermatrix m) Converts a hypermatrix to an array of n dimensions
