A slice is a data structure that represents a contiguous segment of an array, indicating the start and length. In programming languages like Swift, slices allow working with a part of the array without copying data, providing efficient access and modification of elements.

Example in Swift:

let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
let slice = numbers[1...3] // slice with elements 2, 3, 4
print(slice) // Output: [2, 3, 4]

Slices are useful for processing subsets of data without creating new arrays.
