Mesh Array of double boost

I wanna create mesh Array using boost elements, that will be do the same that code below, but can accept numbers of double.
Please advice me any boost array that give me needed functionality. It will be great that advised element has the same argument list. I mean
// [base,stride,bound)
// [0,2,4)
P.S. Or may be there are any opportunity modify this boost::multi_array_types::index_range in order do make it accept double...
Many thanks in advance!

First, doubles are inexact to begin with. So why are you attempting to create ranges (and manipulate them) using inexact types?

The solution is to use integer. Instead of using doubles, just multiply those values by a factor of 10.

Code:

---

range a_range;
a_range = range(0,232,34);
unsigned int i=0;

while (a_range[i] <=a_range.get_finish())
{
    cout  <<"for value: " <<  a_range[i]/10.0<< " => " << a_range[i]/10.0*4.5 << "\n";
    ++i;
}

Note how the range is all integers, and inside the loop, the number is adjusted for the calculations.

You never should use doubles as loop counters or anything that requires exact counting. Your original code where you had doubles could possibly run differently depending on compiler, compiler options, etc.
