I do understand pointers. I think that we have a miscommunication.
Let me be more clear. Assume I have the following:
[ 1 1 0 0 ]
m = [ 0 2 2 0 ]
[ 0 0 3 3 ]
and I want to form
[ 0 1 0 1 ]
[ 0 2 2 0 ]
[ 3 0 0 3 ]
Furthermore, since this is stored in a compressed matrix, I do not
store zeros. These matrices have two nonzero entries per row.
Thus, if I create a matrix_row for the first row,
matrix_row<MatType> row1 = matrix_row( m, 1 );
matrix_row<MatType>::iterator icol = row1.begin();
now "icol" iterates over the first two columns in this case.
Furthermore, icol.index() returns the *column* index, since icol is a
iterator over the columns. What I want to do is modify icol.index().
I cannot obtain a pointer to the fourth column of the first row since
it does not exist.
How then can I move the first column of row 1 to the fourth column?
As I said originally, I can use erase_entry(...) and
insert_entry(...) but I am hoping to accomplish this using a
matrix_row object, since that is much more convenient in my
application (the matrix itself is not readily available).
