Prerequisite :Array in C/C++, More on array A four-dimensional (4D) array is an array of array of arrays of arrays or in other words 4D array is a array of 3D array. More dimensions in an array means more data be held, but also means greater difficulty in managing and understanding arrays. Declaration of a Multidimensional Array in C: Syntax:
data_type array_name[i1][i2][i3][i4]………[in]; where each i is a dimension, and in is the size of final dimension.
Examples: 1. int student[4][5][6][7]; int designates the array type integer. student is the name of our 4D array. Our array can hold 840 integer-type elements. This number is reached by multiplying the value of each dimension. In this case: 4x5x6x7=840. 2. float country[5][6][5][6][5]; Array country is a five-dimensional array. It can hold 4500 floating-point elements (5x6x5x6x5=4500). Program :
// C++ Program to input 4D Matrix and print it. #include <iostream> using namespace std;
int main()
{ // variable declaration used for indexes
int i, j, k, l, size;
// Array declaration
int a[2][2][2][2];
// size of array
size = 2;
// elements input
a[0][0][0][0] = 5;
a[0][0][0][1] = 3;
a[0][0][1][0] = 5;
a[0][0][1][1] = 3;
a[0][1][0][0] = 6;
a[0][1][0][1] = 7;
a[0][1][1][0] = 6;
a[0][1][1][1] = 7;
a[1][0][0][0] = 8;
a[1][0][0][1] = 9;
a[1][0][1][0] = 8;
a[1][0][1][1] = 9;
a[1][1][0][0] = 9;
a[1][1][0][1] = 7;
a[1][1][1][0] = 9;
a[1][1][1][1] = 7;
// Printing the values
for (i = 0; i < size; i++) {
for (j = 0; j < size; j++) {
for (k = 0; k < size; k++) {
for (l = 0; l < size; l++) {
cout << "Value of a[" << i << "][" << j << "][" << k << "][" << l
<< "] :- " << a[i][j][k][l];
cout << "\n" ;
}
}
}
}
return 0;

Value of a[0][0][0][0] :- 5 Value of a[0][0][0][1] :- 3 Value of a[0][0][1][0] :- 5 Value of a[0][0][1][1] :- 3 Value of a[0][1][0][0] :- 6 Value of a[0][1][0][1] :- 7 Value of a[0][1][1][0] :- 6 Value of a[0][1][1][1] :- 7 Value of a[1][0][0][0] :- 8 Value of a[1][0][0][1] :- 9 Value of a[1][0][1][0] :- 8 Value of a[1][0][1][1] :- 9 Value of a[1][1][0][0] :- 9 Value of a[1][1][0][1] :- 7 Value of a[1][1][1][0] :- 9 Value of a[1][1][1][1] :- 7
Use: An 4D array can be used to store a collection of data, for example we input 3 coordinates & 1 time, i.e., x, y, z, t and we want to check whether there is collision between two vehicles or not.
