## What is slicing?

A **slice operation** involves taking out some part of an array and returning the other part.

## Slicing a D array
Slicing an array in D implies specifying a subarray of an array. When an array is sliced, it does not mean that data was copied to another variable. It only creates another reference to such an array.

### How to do a slice 
* First, we create the array that we want to slice.
```
int [] let_slice = [ 5,6,7,8,9];
```
* We indicate the indexes from which to start our slice and at which to end it. We separate these indexes by triple dots. 
We slice array `let_slice` from the first to the fourth index position.

```
let_slice[1...4]
 ```
If we output this, we'll see what it contains.


## Example

In the code below, we'll return the slice value of the array `let_slice`.

import std.stdio;

void main() { 
  
    //an array of int type ;
    int[] let_slice = [ 1,3,4,5,6,7];
    write("These are the values between index 1 and 4: ");
    //slicing the array
    writeln(let_slice[1..4]);
}

#   

## Explanation
* **Line 1**: We import the `stdio` package.
* **Line 3**: We start the `main` function.
* **Line 6**: We declare an array of `int` data type.

* **Line 7**: We write a note to the output.

* **Line 9**: We print the outcome of slicing the array  `let_slice`.


How to slice an array in D

Slicing in D involves specifying a subarray without copying data, just creating a new reference. Example: let_slice[1...4].
