importslicefrom'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-slice@deno/mod.js';

Returns a shallow copy of a portion of an array.

varx=[1,2,3,4,5,6];varout=slice(x);// returns [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ]varbool=(out===x);// returns false

The function accepts the following arguments:

• x: input array.
• start: starting index (inclusive). Default:0.
• end: ending index (exclusive). Default:x.length.

By default, the function returns a shallow copy beginning from the first element of the provided input array. To begin copying from an alternative element, provide a starting index (inclusive).

varx=[1,2,3,4,5,6];varout=slice(x,2);// returns [ 3, 4, 5, 6 ]

By default, the function copies through the end of the provided input array. To copy up until a specific element, provide an ending index (exclusive).

varx=[1,2,3,4,5,6];varout=slice(x,1,4);// returns [ 2, 3, 4 ]

• If provided an array-like object having aslice method, the function defers execution to that method and assumes that the method API has the following signature:

  x.slice( start, end )

• If provided an array-like object without aslice method, the function copies input array elements to a new generic array.

• @stdlib/array-take:take elements from an array.

This package is part ofstdlib, a standard library with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
