What are the differences between arrays and matrices?

I mean when using them in terms of places and just using them with numbers, they seem pretty similar to me


Thanks in advance.

What do you mean in terms of "places"?

SomeMatrix->M[2][6]=10;

Well an array is a matrix extending in a single line. So given a single index, we can locate any spot in the array. If you lay many layers of arrays you could then describe 3D space with 3 coordinates (x, y, z). // ie: array[x][y][z] = value;
