Time	Narration
0:00	A multidimensional array is an array in which you can store other arrays.
0:06	It is very similar to an associative array.
0:09	However, the associates for this array are arrays themselves.
0:14	For a better understanding, let us start the program.
0:19	I will create a program that lets you see the position of a letter in the English alphabet.
0:26	For example, if I give the value 1, it should echo out "A" in position 1.
0:33	If I give the value two it would say "B" in position 2.
0:38	And for three, it will say "C" is in position 3, and so on.
0:43	First I will create my own array.
0:53	And just for easy viewing, I will bring this down.
0:58	You are quite welcome to do so yourself.
1:01	And inside. I will create my own array, which I will call ‘ABC’.
1:10	That will be the array.
1:15	Instead of putting a value here, as we did before, we have an array inside.
1:24	And inside these, will be the values, for example, Capital A, B, C and D.
1:32	And these values will be separated by commas.
1:41	And then we type “123” and that is equal to an array.
1:46	Now we’re just going to have ‘1,2,3,4, and that’s it.
1:53	Down here, I’ll show you how to echo out specific data inside the array.
1:59	We’ll call our main array.
2:02	And we’ll call this array as well.
2:05	And then the position of what you want inside the array. So it is an array inside an array.
2:13	So I will just type ‘echo’ and then ‘alpha’ which is our main array.
2:19	And then inside square brackets, ‘ABC’.
2:23	And next, inside square brackets, the position of the element if you want to retrieve.
2:30	Now, for example, is going to echo "A".
2:35	Let us give that a run - and we got "A".
2:47	Changing this to ‘123’, will hopefully give us "1".
2:54	As you can see here.
2:57	So we've made our two basic arrays inside our main arrays, and we’ve learnt to call it.
3:05	Now I’m going to create a new program to find out the position of a letter in relation to its number.
3:13	I’m going to type up here ‘ postion = 0’, since 0 is the beginning.
3:30	Now I will echo out ‘Letter something is in position something’.
3:39	This is going to be quite simple.
3:42	We enter a position here, say 3. Since C is in position 3 in the alphabet, we get C.
3:53	So , to echo out our letter, if I am going to replace the first blank with ‘alpha’.
4:02	ABC
4:05	'pos'
4:07	as 'pos' represents our position.
4:11	So then, the position will be - Alpha... 123
4:19	And then the position, ‘pos’.
4:23	At the moment, position is equal to 0.
4:29	We type ’echo something’. So this is position zero.
4:36	Position zero inside the internal array “ABC”. So in actual fact, we are saying that A is in position 0,
4:47	which is this array, 123 and that is position zero. So actually we are saying letter A is in position one.
4:56	Lets run this. Okay. A is in position 1. Let’s change this to 1.
5:05	Refresh. Letter B is in position 2. Now what I will do to make this application fully functional and easy to navigate, is eliminate the necessity to write zero for 1.
5:21	So I will put ‘-1’ at the end and put 1 in brackets for better legibility.
5:28	So, position one minus one is infact zero. So, writing 1 will give the same result as writing 0. Writing 2 will give us the same result as writing 1...letter B is in position 2.
5:43	If I put 1 then we get A is in position 1. So if I put zero here; there is no position -1; so we get “letter in position”. So we don’t have the letter or the position.
6:01 onwards	So, I’ve made that a bit more user-friendly. Thanks for watching!
