New programmer needs help getting started

[mroz]

I'm trying to create a program that builds a cube from a set of coordinates (xyz). I want to use a number distribution so that every point in the cube that matches with a point in my data set is given a value of 1 and everywhere else is given a value of 0. I'm pretty new to programming and I would really appreciate any advice on how to tackle this or other resources I should check out. Thanks so much!

You could try using a three dimentional array to store your set of coordinates. You could look at cprogramming.com as a resource.
