In [[computer programming]], '''rank''' with no further specifications is usually a synonym for (or refers to) "number of dimensions";<ref>{{Cite web |title=Vocabulary_with_defintions |url=https://files.schudio.com/federation-of-boldmere-schools/files/documents/Vocabulary_with_defintions.docx}}</ref> thus, a two-dimensional array has rank ''two'', a three-dimensional array has rank ''three'' and so on.
Strictly, no formal definition can be provided which applies to every [[programming language]], since each of them has its own concepts, [[Formal semantics of programming languages|semantics]] and terminology; the term may not even be applicable or, to the contrary, applied with a very specific meaning in the context of a given language.
