Since Julia (ordinary) arrays have 1-based indices and are in column-major order, the linear index
k
and the Cartesian index(i,j)
of an element in am×n
Julia array are related by:k = i + m*(j - 1)
. The examples of conversion between linear and Cartesian indices in the doc. use incorrect formulae although the results were correct in the specific element at(1,3)
. This can be easily checked for other indices than(1,3)
with a simple2×3
array (as in the examples) built byA = reshape(collect(1:6),2,3)
.
