Slice notation in Scala?

Question

Is there something similar to the slice notation in Python in Scala?

I think this is really a useful operation that should be incorporated in all languages.

Answer 1

Equivalent method in Scala (with a slightly different syntax) exists for all kinds of sequences:

scala> "Hello world" slice(0,4)
res0: String = Hell

scala> (1 to 10) slice(3,5)
res1: scala.collection.immutable.Range = Range(4, 5)

The biggest difference compared to slicing in Python is that start and end indices are mandatory in Scala.
