class slice;

Valarray slice selector

This class represents a  valarray slice selector. It does not contain nor refers to any element - it only describes a selection of elements to be used as an index in  valarray::operator[].

A  valarray slice is defined by a  starting index, a  size, and a  stride.

The  starting index ( start) is the index of the first element in the selection.
The  size ( size) is the number of elements in the selection.
The  stride ( stride) is the span that separates the elements selected.

Therefore, a slice with a stride higher than 1 does not select contiguous elements in the  valarray; For example,  slice(3,4,5)selects the elements 3, 8, 13 and 18.

Example

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

// slice example #include <iostream> // std::cout #include <cstddef> // std::size_t #include <valarray> // std::valarray, std::slice int main () { std::valarray<int> foo (12); for (int i=0; i<12; ++i) foo[i]=i; std::valarray<int> bar = foo[std::slice(2,3,4)]; std::cout << "slice(2,3,4):"; for (std::size_t n=0; n<bar.size(); n++) std::cout << ' ' << bar[n]; std::cout << '\n'; return 0; }
