[ADMB Users] Question about vectors

[John Sibert]

Vectors can be indexed at the user's pleasure. The construtors take 2 
arguments, the lower and upper values of the index. Thus it you can 
declare dvector myvector(0,10); which will have 11 elements indexed from 
0 to 10l

I don't understand the second question. The data types were determined 
by the requirements of the software.

There is no difference between () and []. There protection given to the 
user or anyone else by []. Compiling in "safe mode" invokes subscript 
checking for both types operators.
