Array Slice

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A contiguous subset of an array selected by start and end boundaries, or in some languages a view-like window into underlying sequence data. Slices are useful for pagination, batching, and partitioning data without always writing custom loops.

    In plain English: A portion of an array selected by a range of positions.

    Example: "The export job processed the records in array slices of 1,000 so memory use stayed stable during serialization."
