<p>
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;
for slices, the upper bound is the capacity rather than the length.
For convenience, any of the index expressions may be omitted. A missing low
index defaults to zero; a missing high index defaults to the length of the
array, slice, or string.
