New page

<c>slice</c> returns a subset of a string or list. This is equivalent to using the square-brackets slice operator seq[from:to], but with ordinary
function syntax.

=== Arguments ===

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Parameter Name !! Default Value !! Meaning
|-
| ''seq'' || string or list || sequence to get a subsequence of
|-
| ''from'' || number, default || 0-based index to the first element to return (if negative, counts from the end)
|-
| ''to'' || number, optional || 0-based index of first element to *not* include in the result (if negative, count from the end; if omitted, return the rest of the sequence)
|}

== Example ==

<ms>slice("Hello", -2) // returns "lo"
slice(["a","b","c","d"], 1, 3) // returns ["b", "c"]</ms>
