{{Short description|Array for a particular vector space}}
In [[coding theory]], a '''standard array''' (or Slepian array) is a <math>q^{n-k}</math> by <math>q^{k}</math> array that lists all elements of a particular <math>\mathbb{F}_q^n</math> [[vector space]]. Standard arrays are used to [[Decoding methods|decode]] [[linear code]]s; i.e. to find the corresponding [[Code word (communication)|codeword]] for any received vector.
