"i have read that one cannnot work with multi dimentional arrays in matlab"
Instead of reading incorrect and/or misleading statements on the internet, it is much more reliable to read the MATLAB documentation:
It is very easy to create or work with ND arrays, you can use indexing, vectorized code, etc., just like with vectors and matrices. Here is an array with size 5x4x3x2:
A = rand(5,4,3,2);
All numeric arrays, cell arrays, structure arrays, string arrays, and character arrays can be multi-dimensional. In fact, for those classes MATLAB makes absolutely no distinction between scalars, vectors, matrices, and ND arrays: they are all the same class of object. Or, to put it another way, in MATLAB:
- scalars are just 1x1x1x1x... arrays.
- vectors are just Mx1x1x1 or 1xNx1x1x1x... arrays.
- matrices are just MxNx1x1x1x1... arrays.
- all arrays are just MxNxPx.... arrays!
