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

See the ScalaAPI here

So not the same notational convenience, but the operation is there

def slice (from: Int, until: Int) : Seq[A]

Selects an interval of elements.

Selects an interval of elements.

Note: c.slice(from, to) is equivalent to (but possibly more efficient than) c.drop(from).take(to - from)

from the index of the first returned element in this sequence. until the index one past the last returned element in this sequence.

returns

a sequence containing the elements starting at index from and extending up to (but not including) index until of this sequence.
