Multidimensional data matrices under c++

Hello,
I was happily writing in c++ today when I came across a problem. I need a 3D float number matrix to store results of calculations. So far I know of 1D and 2D matrices. Is there any way of creating a 3D one, for storing (xyz) coordinates for example?
I can think of one way but is requires recalculation of parameters and a lot of computation time to decode.
I am open to all suggestions
Thanks for all posts

float matrix[50][50][50];

hm, that was too simple for me to think out I guess.
Now a stupid question, does this work for float matrix [x][x][x][x] as well??
So far I have been decoding addresses into such a fashion:
x^3*firstadress+x^2*secondadress+x*thirdadress+fourthadress, where x is the maximal dimension of the matrix. This also works though I have to operate on one hell-of-a-long matrix and there is always much more operations with decodning addresses correctly.
Thanks for posts

Yes, of course it does in just that fashion. I believe that you can go up to seven dimensions -- but check your compiler's documentation first.

You can use dinamic mammory as

X[][] is pointer X**
x[][][] is pointer X***
and so on.

Thanks a lot
That really solves me a lot of unneccessary work.
You are the best

and works really fine.
Now the program runs like gold and there are no problems with excessive position decoding. Thanks a lot guys
