<p>
Strings, arrays, and slices can be <i>sliced</i> to construct substrings or descriptors
of subarrays. The index expressions in the slice select which elements appear
in the result. The result has indexes starting at 0 and length equal to the
difference in the index values in the slice. After slicing the array <code>a</code>

The slice length must not be negative.
For convenience, the <code>hi</code> expression may be omitted; the notation
<code>a[lo :]</code> is shorthand for <code>a[lo : len(a)]</code>.
For arrays or strings, the indexes
<code>lo</code> and <code>hi</code> must satisfy
0 &lt;= <code>lo</code> &lt;= <code>hi</code> &lt;= length;

<h3 id="Copying_slices">Copying slices</h3>
<p>
The built-in function <code>copy</code> copies array or slice elements from
a source <code>src</code> to a destination <code>dst</code> and returns the
number of elements copied. Source and destination may overlap.
Both arguments must have the same element type <code>T</code> and must be
<a href="#Assignment_compatibility">assignment compatible</a> to a slice
of type <code>[]T</code>. The number of arguments copied is the minimum of
<code>len(src)</code> and <code>len(dst)</code>.
</p>
<pre class="grammar">
copy(dst, src []T) int
</pre>
<p>
Examples:
</p>
<pre>
var a = [...]int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7};
var s = make([]int, 6);
n1 := copy(s, &amp;a); // n1 == 6, s == []int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
n2 := copy(s, s[2:]); // n2 == 4, s == []int{2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 5}
