-TOOL handles multidimensional arrays (objects) in a way that makes the math as simple as working with single-value (scalar) variables. ​ For example to multiply a population stock variable which is broken down by region(reg),​ gender(gen),​ time(t) and age(a) by a survival rate by only region time and age the math is simply:+TOOL handles multidimensional arrays (objects) in a way that makes the math as simple as working with single-value (i.e. scalar) variables. ​ For example to multiply a population stock variable which is broken down by region(reg),​ gender(gen),​ time(t) and age(a) by a survival rate by only region time and age the math is simply:
