title: Java: Multi-dimensional array vs. one-dimensional
body: <p>For example:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p><strong>a)</strong> <code>int [x][y][z]</code></p>
  
  <p>vs </p></li>
  <li><p><strong>b)</strong> <code>int[x*y*z]</code></p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Initially thought I'd go with a) for simplicity.</p>
  
  <p>I know that Java doesn't store arrays linearly in memory like C does, but what implications does this have for my program?</p>
