Editing Array slicing (section)

===2009: [[Go (programming language)|Go]]===
Go supports Python-style syntax for slicing (except negative indices are not supported). Arrays and slices can be sliced. If you have a slice

<syntaxhighlight lang="go">
nums := []int{1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 13, 20}
</syntaxhighlight>

then the first 3 elements, middle 3 elements, last 3 elements, and a copy of the entire slice would be:

<syntaxhighlight lang="go">
nums[:3]  // equals []int{1, 3, 5}
nums[2:5] // equals []int{5, 7, 8}
nums[4:]  // equals []int{8, 13, 20}
nums[:]   // equals []int{1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 13, 20}
</syntaxhighlight>

Slices in Go are reference types, which means that different slices may refer to the same underlying array.
