   arrays
  I want to store the date as "12/7/2005" in an array. Should I use a multidimensional array?   
  Could you clarify your question a bit more? Maybe show an example of what you want?   ;  if u only wanna store that date its a normal string so u need an array of chars one deminsion array or u can use the data type provided by u r compiler ( Hopefully u r compiler would provide a string class )   ;  note:ur = your (as in i have your book).u r = you are (as in you are tall).   ;  Use a structure (or tuples, if the language you are using supports them).   ;  You may want to store it as "2005/12/7" ie Year/Month/Dayso that it will be sortable.
