 As mentioned before, there is no special constructor for definition of multidimensional tables, a table entry can contain another table. In what follows we have a closer look to manipulations with multidimensional tables.  Consider a multidimensional table which is extensionally defined as follows: As mentioned before, there is no special constructor for definition of multidimensional tables, a table entry can contain another table.
