.. highlight:: c
array, matrix & vector
===========================================
**Synopsis**:
.. code-block:: c
template <typename ValueType, int Rank, ull_t OptionsFlags=0, ull_t TraversalOrder=0 > class array;
template <typename ValueType, ull_t OptionsFlags=0, ull_t TraversalOrder=0 > class matrix;
template <typename ValueType, ull_t OptionsFlags=0> class vector;
where triqs::ull_t is the type defined by :
.. code-block:: c
typedef unsigned long long ull_t;
* The library provides three basic containers :
* array : general (rectangular) `N`-dimensionnal array; models :ref:`MutableCuboidArray` concept.
* matrix : models the :ref:`MutableMatrix` concept.
* vector : models the :ref:`MutableVector` concept.
and the corresponding view classes : array_view, matrix_view, vector_view (Cf :ref:`partial_views`).
* The matrix and vector are very similar to an array of dimension 2 and 1 respectivily,
except for their algebra. Array form an array algebra, where operation are done element-wise, while matrix and vector
form the usual algebra and vector space of linear algebra.
* These classes are largely interoperable, as explained below : it is easy and quick to take a
matrix_view of an array, or vice versa.
Template parameters
----------------------------
============================ ============================== ========================== ====================================================================
Template parameter Accepted type Access in the class Meaning
============================ ============================== ========================== ====================================================================
ValueType any regular type (typically a value_type The type of the element of the array
scalar).
Rank int rank The rank of the array
OptionsFlags ull_t Compile time options, see below.
TraversalOrder ull_t Compile time options, see below.
============================ ============================== ========================== ====================================================================
* Rank is only present for array, since matrix have rank 2 and vector rank 1.
* OptionFlags is a series of flags determining various options at compile time.
The possible flags are accessible via a constexpr ull_t in triqs::arrays or a macro :

BOUND_CHECK triqs::arrays::BoundCheck
TRAVERSAL_ORDER_C triqs::arrays::TraversalOrderC
TRAVERSAL_ORDER_FORTRAN triqs::arrays::TraversalOrderFortran
DEFAULT_INIT triqs::arrays::DefaultInit
======================== =======================================
Defaults can be modified with the macros :
* `TRIQS_ARRAYS_ENFORCE_BOUNDCHECK` : enforce BoundCheck by default (slows down codes ! Use only for debugging purposes).
* TraversalOrder is a coding of the optimal ordering of indices, given by a permutation
evaluated at **compile time**.
The traversal of the arrays (iterators, foreach loop) will be written and optimised for this
order.
The default (0) is understood as regular C-style ordering (slowest index first).
Note that an array can use any index ordering in memory, and that decision is take at run time
(this is necessary for interfacing with python numpy arrays, see below).
The code will be correct for any order, but optimised for the TraversalOrder.
For a few very specials operations (e.g. regrouping of indices), the indices ordering in memory and TraversalOrder
must coincide. This will be explicitely said below. By default, it is not necessary (but can be suboptimal).
The permutation P encodes the position of the index : P[0] is the fastest index, P[rank - 1] the slowest index
(see examples below).
TraversalOrder is not present for vector since there is only one possibility in 1d.
