This is the first time I've heard the term "jagged arrays." Is this common parlance and I'm just a hermit?
- MattPalmer1086 3y agoI've heard the term before, but I have never needed to use jagged arrays.
- morelisp 3y agoIt is, although at both schools I went to "ragged arrays" was the more common term. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagged_array https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagged_array I think to some degree it's fallen out of favor as this is the only kind of array you will ever see if you stick to, say, bootcamp-level Python and JavaScript.
- 3cats-in-a-coat 3y agoIt's becoming common. You can also hear "jagged tensors". Alternatively "ragged".
- ok123456 3y agoIt's common parlance in C# where the language has different syntax for dense and jagged arrays (i.e., A[i,j,k] vs A[i][j][k]).
