void vo003_LogicalOperations()
{

   // Logical operations on RVec instances are made to be very easy to use.
   RVec<double> v1{1., 2., 3.};
   RVec<double> v2{3., 2., 1.};

   // Let's start with operations which act element by element. In this case
   // we expext a RVec which holds {1. > 3., 2. > 2., 3. > 1.}, i.e. {1, 0, 0}:
   auto v1_gr_v2 = v1 > v2;
   std::cout << v1 << " > " << v2 << " = " << v1_gr_v2 << std::endl;

   // Other logical operations are supported, of course:
   auto v1_noteq_v2 = v1 != v2;
   std::cout << v1 << " != " << v2 << " = " << v1_noteq_v2 << std::endl;

   // Selections on the RVec contents can be applied with the "square brackets" operator,
   // which is not only a way to access the content of the RVec.
   // This operation can change the size of the RVec.
   RVec<double> v{1., 2., 3., 4., 5.};
   auto v_filtered = v[v > 3.];
   std::cout << "v = " << v << ". v[ v > 3. ] = " << v_filtered << std::endl;

   // This filtering operation can be particularely useful when cleaning collections of
   // objects coming from HEP events. For example:
   RVec<double> mu_pt{15., 12., 10.6, 2.3, 4., 3.};
   RVec<double> mu_eta{1.2, -0.2, 4.2, -5.3, 0.4, -2.};

   // Suppose the pts of the muons with a pt greater than 10 and eta smaller than 2.1 are needed:
   auto good_mu_pt = mu_pt[mu_pt > 10 && abs(mu_eta) < 2.1];
   std::cout << "mu_pt = " << mu_pt << "  mu_pt[ mu_pt > 10 && abs(mu_eta) < 2.1] = " << good_mu_pt << std::endl;
