On the fly matrix input

Hello everyone, I'm Robert and I'm sort of new to programming Ti-basic. I have a Ti 84 CE. I'm looking for tips, resources and/or direct community feedback on if there is a way to get user input on my calculator that can be added to individual elements in a matrix on the fly from a program that I'm writing. The user would be asked questions, their answers would then be stored in a matrix. The size of the matrix would be determined by the user's input and further input would determine the individual elements. Further more the elements in the matrix would need to be extracted from the matrix and displayed. I'm not asking how to get user input or how to display that input. I'm only asking if there's a way to dimension the matrix from a program on the fly, how to store the info and extract the info from within said program.

Thank you for your time, support, advice and tips.

dim( is your best friend here: if [A] is a 3x4 matrix, then dim([A] will return {3,4} as a two-element list. From there, you can do as you need.

The solution to a complex problem is often a simple answer.
