3 //! A dynamically-sized view into a contiguous sequence, `[T]`.
4 //!
5 //! *[See also the slice primitive type](slice).*
6 //!
7 //! Slices are a view into a block of memory represented as a pointer and a
8 //! length.
9 //!
10 //! ```
11 //! // slicing a Vec
12 //! let vec = vec![1, 2, 3];
13 //! let int_slice = &vec[..];
14 //! // coercing an array to a slice
15 //! let str_slice: &[&str] = &["one", "two", "three"];
16 //! ```
17 //!
18 //! Slices are either mutable or shared. The shared slice type is `&[T]`,
19 //! while the mutable slice type is `&mut [T]`, where `T` represents the element
20 //! type. For example, you can mutate the block of memory that a mutable slice
21 //! points to:
22 //!
23 //! ```
24 //! let x = &mut [1, 2, 3];
25 //! x[1] = 7;
26 //! assert_eq!(x, &[1, 7, 3]);
27 //! ```
28 //!
29 //! Here are some of the things this module contains:
30 //!
31 //! ## Structs
32 //!
33 //! There are several structs that are useful for slices, such as [`Iter`], which
34 //! represents iteration over a slice.
35 //!
36 //! ## Trait Implementations
37 //!
38 //! There are several implementations of common traits for slices. Some examples
39 //! include:
40 //!
41 //! * [`Clone`]
42 //! * [`Eq`], [`Ord`] - for slices whose element type are [`Eq`] or [`Ord`].
43 //! * [`Hash`] - for slices whose element type is [`Hash`].
44 //!
45 //! ## Iteration
46 //!
47 //! The slices implement `IntoIterator`. The iterator yields references to the
48 //! slice elements.
49 //!
50 //! ```
51 //! let numbers = &[0, 1, 2];
52 //! for n in numbers {
53 //!     println!("{n} is a number!");
54 //! }
55 //! ```
56 //!
57 //! The mutable slice yields mutable references to the elements:
58 //!
59 //! ```
60 //! let mut scores = [7, 8, 9];
61 //! for score in &mut scores[..] {
62 //!     *score += 1;
63 //! }
64 //! ```
65 //!
66 //! This iterator yields mutable references to the slice's elements, so while
67 //! the element type of the slice is `i32`, the element type of the iterator is
68 //! `&mut i32`.
69 //!
70 //! * [`.iter`] and [`.iter_mut`] are the explicit methods to return the default
71 //!   iterators.
72 //! * Further methods that return iterators are [`.split`], [`.splitn`],
73 //!   [`.chunks`], [`.windows`] and more.
74 //!
75 //! [`Hash`]: core::hash::Hash
76 //! [`.iter`]: slice::iter
77 //! [`.iter_mut`]: slice::iter_mut
78 //! [`.split`]: slice::split
79 //! [`.splitn`]: slice::splitn
80 //! [`.chunks`]: slice::chunks
81 //! [`.windows`]: slice::windows
