30// class G4MagIntegratorStepper
31//
32// Class description:
33//
34// Abstract base class for integrator of particle's equation of motion,
35// used in tracking in space dependent magnetic field
36//
37// A Stepper must integrate over NumberOfVariables elements,
38// and also copy (from input to output) any of NoStateVariables
39// not included in the NumberOfVariables.
40//
41// So it is expected that NoStateVariables >= NumberOfVariables
