Using template to define n-dimension array

[williamwong]

I understand that template <typename T> can be used to define a container class of type T at compile time.  For example:

template <typename T>
class C1dArray
{
T m_array[];
public:
// and methods that deal with 1darray operations
};

I can define C1dArray<int> and it will be an array of integers, C1dArray<double> and it will be an array of double.

So I started to define 2d array with the following definition:

template <typename T>
class C2dArray
{
 C1dArray<T> m_array[];
public:
 // and methods that deal with 2darray operations
};

Good, now I can use 2darray that contain any type I need.

Problem now, I like to define ndarray, but how to do it without create classes C3dArray, class C4darray, and repeat all the same methods that are coded in C2dArray?

void OnStart()

Very ingenious way of using template.  Thanks for the tip :-)
