# Slices Limbo supports slicing on arbitrary array types, including strings, as strings are arrays of bytes. ## Source ### slices.b:19,22 This section shows slicing from the beginning of an array to the index up to before the variable `n`. ### slices.b:24,25 This section shows slicing from the index 4 to the end of the array. ### slices.b:27,28 This section shows several slicing operations. First `c` is created as the slice of `str` from index 2 through the index prior to the final index of `str`. The printout is then a string version of the slice of `c` from index 4 through the 7th index. ## Demo ; limbo slices.b ; slices little_baby_ducks lit le_baby_ducks _bab ; ## Exercises - What happens if you try to slice an empty string, `""`? - Can you slice in the format `[:n:]`?
