Hi all,
I am new to Ada and have perhaps a boring question, coming from array oriented languages such as MATLAB & NumPy in Python:
Is it possible to overload the indexing operator? For example, in the aforementioned languages, one could index with the value 1 to get the first element, or index with a vector [2, 3, 4] to obtain a vector of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th elements.
Handling index arrays and generating an output array is something I can write, so my question is if the syntax can be overloaded, or I should expect to implement an explicit "slice" function?
A more general question: from my brief searches on the internet, I have not uncovered a generic N-dimensional array library, and I am curious how users of Ada in the scientific domains proceed: have I missed something or is idiomatic Ada array code written in looped style?
regards,
Marmaduke
