numDims(a)

Returns the dimensionality of a value.

Function only- no corresponding object

Syntax

o_numDims(a)

a: any - any value

return: Int32 -  the number of dimensions. 0 for scalar 1 or more for an array

Usage

This is the same as using the Unbuild Array object but has the advantage of being useful inside expressions.

Location

menu: no menu pick - to access use the Function and Object browser

library: dataLib

Example

(o_numDims(A)?A:[A]) returns the input unchanged if it is an array, but converts a scalar input into a 1D array. Hence regardless of the input, the result is an array.
