Based on my [permalink href=”4″]previous post[\/permalink] about cloning multidimensional arrays, I have come up with a short static function to get the number of dimensions which a multidimensional array has.<\/p>\n
Note that this method only returns the number of dimensions of the original object passed as argument. It does not expand into the contained objects themselves. Example:<\/p>\n
[sourcecode language=’java’]
\nObject[] a = new Object[3][0];
\nSystem.out.println(getNumberOfDimensions(a));
\n[\/sourcecode]
\nprints 2.<\/p>\n
[sourcecode language=’java’]
\nObject[] a = new Object[1];
\na[0] = new float[2][5][1];
\nSystem.out.println(getNumberOfDimensions(a));
\n[\/sourcecode]
\nprints 1.<\/p>\n
