/*      NTH        I   Index of a particular element. */
/*      SET        I   Input set. */

/*      The function returns the location of the NTH element in the set. */

/* $ Detailed_Input */

/*      NTH         is an index to an element of a set.  If the set is to */
/*                  be conceived as sorted in increasing order, then the */
/*                  NTH element of a set is well defined. */

/*      SET         is a set. */


/* $ Detailed_Output */

/*      The function returns the location within the set array of the */
/*      NTH element within the order imposed by the ASCII collating */
/*      sequence. Thus, a set may be traversed in order: */

/*         SET( FETCHC ( 1 ) ) */
/*         SET( FETCHC ( 2 ) ) */
/*          . */
/*          . */
/*         SET( FETCHC ( CARDC ( SET ) ) ) */

/* $ Parameters */

/*     None. */

/* $ Particulars */

/*      Within a set, the elements may be stored in arbitrary */
/*      order. The elements of a set may be retrieved by stepping */
/*      through the set array: */

/*         SET( 1 ) */
/*         SET( 2 ) */
/*          . */
/*          . */
/*         SET( CARDC ( SET ) ) */

/*      Likewise, the elements may be retreived in the order imposed by */
/*      the ASCII collating sequence, by using FETCHC: */

/*         SET( FETCHC ( 1, SET ) ) */
/*         SET( FETCHC ( 2, SET ) ) */
/*          . */
/*          . */
/*         SET( FETCHC ( CARDC ( SET ), SET ) ) */

/*      In general, FETCHC ( I, SET ) is not equal to I. */

/* $ Examples */

/*      Let SET contain the following elements. */

/*         'Feynman' */
/*         'Einstein' */
/*         'Bohr' */
/*         'Newton' */

/*      Then the code fragment */

/*         DO I = 1, CARDC ( SET ) */
/*            WRITE (*,*) SET(FETCHC(I,SET)) */
/*         END DO */

/*      always produces the following output. */

/*         Bohr */
/*         Einstein */
/*         Feynman */
/*         Newton */

/*      The code fragment */

/*         DO I = 1, CARDC ( SET ) */
/*            WRITE (*,*) SET(I) */
/*         END DO */

/*      produces the same elements in unspecified order. */

/* $ Restrictions */

/*      None. */

/* $ Exceptions */

/*      1) If the element does not exist, the error SPICE(INVALIDINDEX) */
/*         is signalled, and the value of FETCHC is zero. */

/*      None. */
