Array.Rank Property

For example, the Visual Basic code

Dim TDArray(0,0,0) As Integer

and the C# code

int[,,] TDArray = new int[1,1,1];

create an array of three dimensions with a Rank property whose value is 3.

A jagged array (an array of arrays) is a one-dimensional array; the value of its Rank property is 1.

Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation.

The following example initializes a one-dimensional array, a two-dimensional array, and a jagged array, and retrieves the Rank property of each.
