How do I slice an array in Java?

How do I slice an array in Java?

In Java, you can slice an array by using the Arrays.copyOfRange() method. For example, to get a slice from index 1 to 3, you would use: Arrays.copyOfRange(array, 1, 4);.

Can you show me an example with actual numbers?

Sure! If you have an array like int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};, and you want to slice it from index 1 to 3, you would do: int[] slice = Arrays.copyOfRange(numbers, 1, 4); This will give you the array {2, 3, 4}.

What if I want to slice it in reverse?

Java doesn't support slicing in reverse directly, but you can first slice it normally and then reverse the resulting array using a loop or Collections.reverse() if it's a list.

Are there any libraries that can help with array manipulation?

Yes, libraries like Apache Commons Lang and Guava provide additional utilities for array manipulation, including slicing and more.
