Detailed Description

An RWRange object is an index which can be used for subscripting vectors, matrices, and arrays. By subscripting with RWRange objects, you create views of selected elements. These new views are vectors, matrices, or arrays in their own right, rather than simply helper classes. This means that a view created with subscripting can be used as an rvalue, an lvalue, or kept as an object for use later.

The class RWRange is derived from RWSlice. It can be used to initialize an RWSlice object as follows:

RWSlice s = RWRange(b,e);

Synopsis

 #include <rw/math/mathvec.h>
 RWMathVec<double> x(20,2);
 cout << x(RWRange(3,5));   // print elements 3,4,5

Examples

 #include <iostream.h>
 #include <rw/math/genmat.h>
 
 int main()
 {
    RWGenMat<int> A(6,6);
    RWRange I(0,2);
    RWRange J(3,5);
    A(I,I) = 1;
    A(I,J) = 2;
    A(J,I) = 3;
    A(J,J) = 4;
    cout << A << endl;
 }

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RWRange::RWRange	(	int	begin,
		int	end
	)			[inline]

Constructs an object which indexes starting at element begin and ending with element end. If end is smaller than begin, the elements are accessed in reverse order.

RWRange::RWRange	(	int	begin,
		int	end,
		int	stride
	)			[inline]

Constructs an object which indexes starting at element begin and ending with element end. If end is smaller than begin, the elements are accessed in reverse order. The parameter stride gives the increment between selected elements; it must always be greater than 0.
