What is 1 dimensional?

1 dimensional (1D) refers to a space that has only one dimension, i.e., it can be described by only one parameter or coordinate. In mathematics, 1D can be represented by a straight line, whereas in physics, time is often considered as a 1D dimension. In computer science, 1D is a form of data structure that is linear and can represent a list, array, or sequence. One-dimensional thinking or analysis focuses on only one aspect of a complex system or problem and may miss other important factors. Linear programming models are commonly used in 1D optimization problems.
