slice Function

slice extracts some consecutive elements from within a list.

Code Block
slice(list, startindex, endindex)

startindex is inclusive, while endindex is exclusive. This function returns an error if either index is outside the bounds of valid indices for the given list.

Examples​

Code Block
> slice(["a", "b", "c", "d"], 1, 3)
[
  "b",
  "c",
]
  • substr performs a similar function for characters in a string, although it uses a length instead of an end index.
