  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
