Create an index. An Index can store ranges having start, step, and end
for multiple dimensions.
Matrix.get, Matrix.set, and math.subset accept an Index as input.
## Syntax
```js
math.index(range1, range2, ...)
```
### Where
- A number
- A string for getting/setting an object property
- An instance of `Range`
- A one-dimensional Array or a Matrix with numbers
### Parameters
Parameter | Type | Description
--------- | ---- | -----------
`ranges` | ...* | Zero or more ranges or numbers.
### Returns
Type | Description
---- | -----------
Index | Returns the created index
## Examples
```js
const b = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
math.subset(b, math.index([1, 2, 3])) // returns [2, 3, 4]
const a = math.matrix([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
a.subset(math.index(0, 1)) // returns 2
```
