[Swift-user] array slicing?

[Allan Espinosa]

Are there plans to incorporate this into the language?

I want to perform some aggregate operations in subelements of my array:

type file;

file somearray[] <array_mapper; file='one, two, three, ..., n'>;


file reduction1;
file reduction2;
file reduction3;
file commoninput <'somefile'>;

reduction1 = some_reduction(somearray[0:60], commoninput);
reduction2 = some_reduction(somearray[61:120], commoninput);
reduction3 = some_reduction(somearray[120:n], commoninput);



I am doing this so that I have more control over the number of times
commoninput is being staged to multiple resources.
