A jagged array is an array whose elements are arrays. The elements of a jagged array can be of different dimensions and sizes, as opposed to the elements of a non–jagged array whose elements are of the same dimensions and size.

Web services, in particular, process data almost exclusively in jagged arrays.

MWNumericArrays can only process jagged arrays with a rectangular shape.

In the following code snippet, a rectangular jagged array of type int is initialized and populated.

 Initializing and Populating a Jagged Array

int[][] jagged = new int[5][]; 
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) 
    jagged[i] = new int[10]; 
MWNumericArray jaggedMWArray = new MWNumericArray(jagged); 
Console.WriteLine(jaggedMWArray);
