Everything about Hypercube

Convex polytope, the n-dimensional analogue of a square and a cube

In geometry, a hypercube is an n-dimensional analogue of a square and a cube ; the special case for n = 4 is known as a tesseract. It is a closed, compact, convex figure whose 1-skeleton consists of groups of opposite parallel line segments aligned in each of the space's dimensions, perpendicular to each other and of the same length. A unit hypercube's longest diagonal in n dimensions is equal to. Wikipedia →

📖 Definitions

Noun A geometric figure in four or more dimensions, which is analogous to a cube in three dimensions. Specifically, the n-dimensional equivalent of a cube for any non-negative integer n.

Noun Such a figure in four dimensions; a tesseract.

Noun A data cube with more than three dimensions.

Noun A computer architecture in which each processor is connected to n others, by analogy with a hypercube of n dimensions.
