#### 15.1.1.4 Array Rank

An array can have any number of dimensions (including zero). The number of dimensions is called the rank .

If the rank of an array is zero then the array is said to have no dimensions, and the product of the dimensions (see array-total-size) is then 1; a zero-rank array therefore has a single element.
