#
This template is a helper template used by the slice subscript operator 
slice_array<T> valarray<T>::operator[](slice);
2
#
It has reference semantics to a subset of an array specified by a slice object.
[ Example
:
The expression a[slice(1, 5, 3)] = b; has the effect of assigning the elements of b to a slice of the elements in a.
For the slice shown, the elements selected from a are .

26.7.5.2 Assignment [slice.arr.assign]

🔗
void operator=(const valarray<T>&) const; const slice_array& operator=(const slice_array&) const;
1
#
These assignment operators have reference semantics, assigning the values of the argument array elements to selected elements of the valarray<T> object to which the slice_­array object refers.

26.7.5.3 Compound assignment [slice.arr.comp.assign]

🔗
void operator*= (const valarray<T>&) const; void operator/= (const valarray<T>&) const; void operator%= (const valarray<T>&) const; void operator+= (const valarray<T>&) const; void operator-= (const valarray<T>&) const; void operator^= (const valarray<T>&) const; void operator&= (const valarray<T>&) const; void operator|= (const valarray<T>&) const; void operator<<=(const valarray<T>&) const; void operator>>=(const valarray<T>&) const;
1
#
These compound assignments have reference semantics, applying the indicated operation to the elements of the argument array and selected elements of the valarray<T> object to which the slice_­array object refers.

26.7.5.4 Fill function [slice.arr.fill]

🔗
void operator=(const T&) const;
1
#
This function has reference semantics, assigning the value of its argument to the elements of the valarray<T> object to which the slice_­array object refers.
