Array objects

Array is a virtual class with no slots intended to be extended by concrete subclasses with an array-like semantic.

Details

Some examples of Array derivatives:

• SparseArray objects implemented in the SparseArray package.

• DelayedArray objects implemented in the DelayedArray package.

• ArrayGrid and ArrayViewport objects implemented in this package (the S4Arrays package).
