ARRAYS is a very simple example of how to set up arrays in C++. In particular, we note that vectors are easy to declare with fixed or dynamic dimensions, but that arrays of dimension 2 or greater aren't easy to declare dynamically. The example shows how to work around this by settting up a two dimensional array as a one dimensional vector.

POINTERS shows how a two-dimensional array can be defined, either as row or column major, using pointers. Unfortunately, the column major format means that the double indexing lists the column index first!

TENSOR_EXAMPLE1 demonstrates how a 3D array can be created by repeated used of the vector operator.

TENSOR_EXAMPLE2 demonstrates how a 3D array can be created by using a class child of std::vector, which implements a 3D array as a linear vector. This is probably more efficient.
