hey there im having a little bit of a coding problem.. ive got the algorithm
down but cant figure out the coding part.

heres what i wanna do.. i would like to access an array element whos array
is an element itself.. for example

lets say we have an array a1, whos elements are arrays

_______________________
|___|____|___|___|____|___|
and inside these elements there are more arrays
|___||___||___||___||___||___|
|___||___||___||___||___||___|
|___||___||___||___||___||___|
|___||___||___||___||___||___|

my question is this..
how would i be able to access.. say the 3rd element in the 2nd element of
the array?
eg.
_______________________
|___|__o_|___|___|____|___|
           V
|___||___||___||___||___||___|
|___||___||___||___||___||___|
|___||_o_||___||___||___||___|
|___||___||___||___||___||___|

would i do something like this??
a1[1].[3] or soemthing like that??

plus, i dont want to set it up as a multidimensional array. because im
trying to simulate grocery store checkout stations.

Please, I would appretiate any help!!

Thanks,
Paul M.
