Imports System Imports CenterSpace.NMath.Core Imports Range = CenterSpace.NMath.Core.Range Namespace CenterSpace.NMath.Examples.VisualBasic A .NET example in Visual Basic showing how to use the indexing class Range with the vector classes. Module VectorRangeExample Sub Main() Dim length As Integer = 10 Console.WriteLine() Dim u As New DoubleVector(length, 0, 1) Console.WriteLine("u = " & u.ToString()) u = [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9] Last five elements of the vector u: Dim uLast5 As DoubleVector = u(New Range(5, length - 1)) Console.WriteLine("uLast5 = " & uLast5.ToString()) uLast5 = [5 6 7 8 9] Could also get this by specifying all elements from the 6th to the end using the End value from the Position enum uLast5 = u(New Range(5, Position.End)) Console.WriteLine("uLast5 = " & uLast5.ToString()) uLast5 = [5 6 7 8 9] You can use negative strides too. Here is the vector u, reversed. Dim uRev As DoubleVector = u(New Range(length - 1, Position.Start, -1)) Console.WriteLine("uRev = " & uRev.ToString()) uRev = [9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0] Notice that when you create a new DoubleVector using the Range or Slice class, you are creating a different "view" of the vectors data. That is, the DoubleVector instance returned by the indexing operator taking a Range object, and the DoubleVector instance being indexed share the same data: uRev(0) = 0 Console.WriteLine("uRev = " & uRev.ToString()) uRev = [0 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0] Console.WriteLine("u = " & u.ToString()) u = [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 0] Finally, we use the DoubleVector method Set(Range) to change the contents of u to alternate values 0 and 1 Dim evenElts As New Range(0, Position.End, 2) Dim oddElts As New Range(1, Position.End, 2) u.Set(evenElts, 0) u.Set(oddElts, 1) Console.WriteLine("u = " & u.ToString()) u = [0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1] Console.WriteLine() Console.WriteLine("Press Enter Key") Console.Read() End Sub End Module End Namespace← All NMath Code Examples
