We will try to understand 3 Dimensional Arrays in C in this class.
Our previous classes clearly explained the concepts of one-dimensional and two-dimensional arrays.

3 Dimensional Arrays in C
The image below shows the way the 3-dimensional arrays are declared in C.
Visualizing a 3 Dimensional array
For example, if we consider our first declaration, it states that it has three columns of two-dimensional arrays, and each two-dimensional array has three rows and three columns.
The number of elements in the above array is 3*3*3 = 27.
For example, assume that our first array has elements from 1 to 27.
The visualization of the 3-dimensional array is shown below.
Accessing the elements of the 3-dimensional arrays
All the elements are stored linearly on memory.
If we want to access six, then the declaration should be a[0] [1] [2].
The above declaration means that in the zero blocks of the 2-dimensional arrays, access the element in the first row and second column.
