NDIndex (Deep Java Library 0.5.0 API specification)

java.lang.Object
- ai.djl.ndarray.index.NDIndex

```
public class NDIndex
extends java.lang.Object
```
The NDIndex allows you to specify a subset of an NDArray that can be used for fetching or updating.
It accepts a different index option for each dimension, given in the order of the dimensions. Each dimension has options corresponding to:
- Return all dimensions - Pass null to addIndices
- A single value in the dimension - Pass the value to addIndices with a negative index -i corresponding to [dimensionLength - i]
- A range of values - Use addSliceDim
We recommend creating the NDIndex using NDIndex(String).

  - NDIndex
```
public NDIndex()
```
    Creates an empty NDIndex to append values to.
  - NDIndex
```
public NDIndex(java.lang.String indices)
```
    Creates a NDIndex given the index values.
    Here are some examples of the indices format.
```
     NDArray a = manager.ones(new Shape(5, 4, 3));

     // Gets a subsection of the NDArray in the first axis.
     assertEquals(a.get(new NDIndex("2")).getShape(), new Shape(4, 3));

     // Gets a subsection of the NDArray indexing from the end (-i == length - i).
     assertEquals(a.get(new NDIndex("-1")).getShape(), new Shape(4, 3));

     // Gets everything in the first axis and a subsection in the second axis.
     // You can use either : or * to represent everything
     assertEquals(a.get(new NDIndex(":, 2")).getShape(), new Shape(5, 3));
     assertEquals(a.get(new NDIndex("*, 2")).getShape(), new Shape(5, 3));

     // Gets a range of values along the second axis that is inclusive on the bottom and exclusive on the top.
     assertEquals(a.get(new NDIndex(":, 1:3")).getShape(), new Shape(5, 2, 3));

     // Excludes either the min or the max of the range to go all the way to the beginning or end.
     assertEquals(a.get(new NDIndex(":, :3")).getShape(), new Shape(5, 3, 3));
     assertEquals(a.get(new NDIndex(":, 1:")).getShape(), new Shape(5, 4, 3));

     // Uses the value after the second colon in a slicing range, the step, to get every other result.
     assertEquals(a.get(new NDIndex(":, 1::2")).getShape(), new Shape(5, 2, 3));

     // Uses a negative step to reverse along the dimension.
     assertEquals(a.get(new NDIndex("-1")).getShape(), new Shape(5, 4, 3));
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    indices - a comma separated list of indices corresponding to either subsections, everything, or slices on a particular dimension
