 *  Implementation of a vector of real numbers.
 *
 *  This class is implemented to be immutable: once the client program
 *  initialize a Vector, it cannot change any of its fields
 *  (d or data[i]) either directly or indirectly. Immutability is a
 *  very desirable feature of a data type.
 *

 *     y     = [ 5.0 2.0 4.0 1.0 ]
