Hi, I'm trying to learn how to use Arrays, I wanted to understand a couple of things ... if I have 50 numbers to insert in an array, should I use a line (x) of 50 or two of 25? How many values can be saved in an array before having to create another one?

As far as I know there is no limit.

If you want a good idea of a real-world example of arrays, you can watch my brand new tutorial on an alternative to falling shapes where a 3D array is used.

3D arrays may be difficult to wrap your head around if you've never used them :)

Start with 1D, check out this tutorial:

Thanks to everyone, but above all I tried to understand what was the optimal use of the array based on the number of data.

It depends on your task and how you want to organize this data. The number of elements doesn't really matter.

For example, you can have a 1D array with a million cells for terrain generation. Or you can have a 2D array with only 20 cells for items inventory.
