```
public class IndexList
extends ArrayList
```
A simple list of indices for a stem. This refers to a single value. so if this is [1,2,3,4] then this is interpreted when accessing the stem as

a.1.2.3.4 == a.[1,2,3,4]

It is assumed that all values have been resolved, so these are just constants, though they may be used to resolve other values. E.g.
```
     a.2.b.[1,2] == a.2.(b.1.2)
 
```
So the index is used to resolve b.

public IndexList(int initialCapacity)
```
    Unlike standard ArrayList, this fills up the list with nulls. This is because it allows the individual elements to be managed later
    
    Parameters:
    
    initialCapacity -
  - IndexList
```
public IndexList()
```
  - IndexList
```
public IndexList(QDLStem stemVariable)
```
- Method Detail
  - tail
```
public IndexList tail(int n)
```
    return the last n elements of this index list
    
    Parameters:
    
    n -
    
    Returns:
  - truncate
```
public void truncate(int n)
```
    Drops everything from index n on. New index list has n elements
    
    Parameters:
    
    n -
  - clone
```
public IndexList clone()
```
    Overrides:
    
    clone in class ArrayList
  - clone
```
public List<IndexList> clone(int n)
```
    Return n clones of this object, so if this object has m elements, this returns n*m elements.
    
    Parameters:
    
    n -
    
    Returns:
