klyn.String._slice
method
public static _slice(text as String, start as Int, stop as Int, sliceStep as Int, hasStart as Boolean, hasStop as Boolean) as String:
Description

Internal helper used by the compiler to implement slice syntax.

The hasStart and hasStop flags preserve omitted bounds from source expressions such as text[:5], text[3:] or text[::-1].

Parameters
  • text Source string.
  • start Requested start bound.
  • stop Requested exclusive stop bound.
  • sliceStep Slice step. Cannot be zero.
  • hasStart True when the source slice explicitly provided a start.
  • hasStop True when the source slice explicitly provided a stop.
Returns

The sliced string.

Example
assert String._slice("Hello World", 0, 5, 1, true, true) == "Hello"
