1	+	5D - Multidimensional Arrays (author: Tao Yue, state: unchanged)
2	+
3	+	You can have arrays in multiple dimensions:
4	+
5	+	``` pascal
6	+	type
7	+	datatype = array [enum_type1, enum_type2] of datatype;
8	+	```
9	+
10	+	The comma separates the dimensions, and referring to the array would be done with:
11	+
12	+	``` pascal
13	+	a [5, 3]
14	+	```
15	+
16	+	Two-dimensional arrays are useful for programming board games. A tic tac toe board could have these type and variable declarations:
17	+
18	+	``` pascal
19	+	type
20	+	StatusType = (X, O, Blank);
21	+	BoardType = array[1..3,1..3] of StatusType;
22	+	var
23	+	Board : BoardType;
24	+	```
25	+
26	+	You could initialize the board with:
27	+
28	+	``` pascal
29	+	for count1 := 1 to 3 do
30	+	for count2 := 1 to 3 do
31	+	Board[count1, count2] := Blank;
32	+	```
33	+
34	+	You can, of course, use three- or higher-dimensional arrays.
