has gloss | eng: In computer programming, an Iliffe vector (also known as a display) is a data structure used to implement multi-dimensional arrays. Named after John K. Iliffe, an Iliffe vector for an n dimensional array (where n > 2) consists of a vector (or 1 dimensional array) of pointers to an n−1 dimensional array. They are often used to avoid the need for expensive multiplication operations when performing address calculation on an array element. They can also be used to implement triangular arrays, or other kinds of irregularly shaped arrays. |
