ntly handles accessing elements of an array, you
can also manage the array and its indexing manually.  One way that 
this may be expressed in memory is as follows:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
int a[] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 };
int s[] = { 4, 1 };
</pre>
<p>

With the latter declaration of <code class="literal">a</code> and 
strides <code class="literal">s</code>, element <code class="literal">a(i,j)</code>
of the array can be
accessed using the expression 
</p>
<pre class="programlist
