ASA172
Generation of all multi-indices in a given range

ASA172 is a C library which generates all multidimensional indices in a given range. simulating the behavior of an arbitrary number of nested loops, by OFlaherty and MacKenzie.

If the number of dimensions was known in advance, such an operation could be carried out by the corresponding set of nested loops. For example, in 3D:

        for ( i = i1; i <= i2; i++ )
          for ( j = j1: j <= j2; j2++ )
            for ( k = k1; k <= k2; k++ )
              (I,J,K) is an index in the range.

One feature of this library, though, is that it can generate all such indexes for an arbitrary number of dimensions.

ASA172 is Applied Statistics Algorithm 172. Source code for many Applied Statistics Algorithms is available through STATLIB.
