Javascript 4D arrays

Question

Anyone have a function to create 4D arrays (or any number of dimensions for that matter)?

I\'d like to call the function, then after that I can do something like

Answer 1

Very simple function, generate an array with any number of dimensions. Specify length of each dimension and the content which for me is '' usually

function arrayGen(content,dims,dim1Len,dim2Len,dim3Len...) {
  var args = arguments;
  function loop(array,dim) {
    for (var a = 0; a < args[dim + 1]; a++) {
      if (dims > dim) {
        array[a] = loop([],dim + 1);
      } else if (dims == dim) {
        array[a] = content;
      }
    }
    return array;
  }
  var thisArray = [];
  thisArray = loop(thisArray,1);
  return thisArray;
};

I use this function very often, it saves a lot of time

Answer 2

Quick and dirty:

var arr = [[[[[]]]]];

Note: You will still need to initialize each dimension. The above creates the foundation for a 4 dimension array at arr[0].
