A table is a mode of visual communication that maps the logical structure of a set of data into a hierarchical matrix. Tabular data consists of discrete data and/or a combination of dependent and independent variables. Visual communication is the communication of ideas through the visual display of information. ... In mathematics, a set can be thought of as any collection of distinct things considered as a whole. ... Data is the plural of datum. ... For the various types of hierarchy, see hierarchy (disambiguation) A hierarchy (in Greek: Ιεραρχία, it is derived from ιερός-hieros, sacred, and άρχω-arkho, rule) is a system of ranking and organizing things or people, where each element of the system (except for the top element) is subordinate to a single other element. ... In mathematics, a matrix (plural matrices) is a rectangular table of numbers or, more generally, of elements of a ring-like algebraic structure. ... In experimental design, a dependent variable is a variable dependent on another variable (called the independent variable). ... In experimental design an independent variable is that variable which is measured, manipulated, or selected by the experimenter to determine its relationship to an observed phenomenon (the dependent variable). ...


A unidimensional table, such as a list or table of contents, has a single hierarchy. A bidimensional table is a table that consists of two dimensions, and two or more hierarchies appearing as data subsets. Mathematical tables (including multiplication tables), tide tables, spreadsheets, and the Gregorian calendar are all examples of practical bidimensional tables. A table of contents is an organized list of titles for quick information on the summary of a book or document and quickly directing the reader to any topic. ... For the various types of hierarchy, see hierarchy (disambiguation) A hierarchy (in Greek: Ιεραρχία, it is derived from ιερός-hieros, sacred, and άρχω-arkho, rule) is a system of ranking and organizing things or people, where each element of the system (except for the top element) is subordinate to a single other element. ... 2-dimensional renderings (ie. ... Before calculators were cheap and plentiful, people would use mathematical tables —lists of numbers showing the results of calculation with varying variables— to simplify and drastically speed up computation. ... In mathematics, a multiplication table is used to define a multiplication operation for an algebraic system. ... A tide table is used for tidal prediction and shows the daily times and height of high water and low water for a particular location. ... To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ... Inscription on the tomb of Pope Gregory XIII celebrating the introduction of the Gregorian Calendar The Gregorian calendar is the calendar that is used nearly everywhere in the world. ...


To facilitate representation in two dimensions (e.g., on paper or in information graphics, higher-dimensional tables of complex data sets are often represented in an exploded view comprising multiple bidimensional tables; others deviate from perpendicularity in order to convey complex relationships in a single table. This article or section contains information that has not been verified and thus might not be reliable. ... The Washington Metro subway map Information graphics or infographics are visual representations of information, data or knowledge. ... An exploded view is a representative picture or diagram that shows the components of an object slightly separated by distance, or suspended in surrounding space in the case of a three-dimensional exploded diagram, as if there had been a small controlled explosion emanating from the middle of the object... Perpendicular is a geometric term that may be used as a noun or adjective. ...


Information technology

Data tables are used extensively in computers, in forms as diverse as equal-sized and consecutive blocks of memory locations, on one hand, and "scatter-storage" schemes relying on what are more conventionally known as hash functions, on another. Each is a distinct data structure in computer science. Use of tables is more likely to be invisible to anyone but a few colleagues of the programmer, than to improve comprehension of the tables' contents; in many cases, their technical effectiveness would outweigh even loss of comprehensibility. A binary tree, a simple type of branching linked data structure. ...


Examples include:

  • all the examples of applications of the n-dimensional array so familiar to computer science students;
  • symbol tables;
  • inode tables; and
  • various forms of table-driven software where the software is controlled from a table, or hardware is relieved, via table-stored data, of some burden of computation.

In computer science, a symbol table is a data structure used by a language translator such as a compiler or interpreter, where each symbol in a programs source code is associated with information such as location, type and scope level. ... In computing, an inode or i-node is a data structure on a traditional Unix-style file system such as ext2. ...
