Dimensions

Dimensions[expr] gives a list of the dimensions of expr.

Dimensions[expr, n] gives a list of the dimensions of expr down to level n.

expr must be a full array, with all the pieces of expr at a particular level having the same length. (The elements of expr can then be thought of as filling up a hyper-rectangular region.)

Each successive level in expr sampled by Dimensions must have the same head.

Example: Dimensions[a,b,c,d,e,f] .

For SparseArray objects, Dimensions yields the dimensions of the corresponding ordinary lists.

See Section 1.8.3, Section 2.4.3 and Section 3.7.3.
