Array Slices

• A slice is some substructure of an array; nothing more than a referencing mechanism

• Slice Examples:
  • FORTRAN 90

        INTEGER MAT (1 : 4, 1 : 4)
        MAT(1 : 4, 1)--the first column
        MAT(2, 1 : 4)--the second row
    

  • Ada--single-dimensioned array slice:

        LIST(4..10)
