) -> Option<&mut <I as SliceIndex<[T]>>::Output> where
I: SliceIndex<[T]>,`
1.0.0

Returns a mutable reference to an element or subslice depending on the type of index (see `get`) or `None` if the index is out of bounds.

I: SliceIndex<[T]>,`
1.0.0

Returns a reference to an element or subslice, without doing bounds checking.

This is generally not recommended, use with caution! For a safe alternative see `get`.

    unsafe {
        assert_eq!(x.get_unchecked(1), &2);
    }

index: I
) -> &mut <I as SliceIndex<[T]>>::Output where
I: SliceIndex<[T]>,`
1.0.0

Returns a mutable reference to an element or subslice, without doing bounds checking.

This is generally not recommended, use with caution! For a safe alternative see `get_mut`.

    assert_eq!(x, &[1, 13, 4]);

#### `fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const T`
1.0.0

Returns a raw pointer to the slice's buffer.

The caller must ensure that the slice outlives the pointer this function returns, or else it will end up pointing to garbage.

Modifying the container referenced by this slice may cause its buffer to be reallocated, which would also make any pointers to it invalid.

# Examples

    let x = &[1, 2, 4];
    let x_ptr = x.as_ptr();

    unsafe {
        for i in 0..x.len() {

        }
    }

#### `fn as_mut_ptr(&mut self) -> *mut T`
1.0.0

Returns an unsafe mutable pointer to the slice's buffer.

The caller must ensure that the slice outlives the pointer this function returns, or else it will end up pointing to garbage.

Modifying the container referenced by this slice may cause its buffer to be reallocated, which would also make any pointers to it invalid.

# Examples

    let x = &mut [1, 2, 4];
    let x_ptr = x.as_mut_ptr();

    unsafe {
        for i in 0..x.len() {
            *x_ptr.offset(i as isize) += 2;
        }
    }
    assert_eq!(x, &[3, 4, 6]);

#### `fn swap(&mut self, a: usize, b: usize)`

Swaps two elements in the slice.

# Arguments

- a - The index of the first element
- b - The index of the second element

# Panics

Panics if `a` or `b` are out of bounds.

# Examples

    let mut v = ["a", "b", "c", "d"];
    v.swap(1, 3);
    assert!(v == ["a", "d", "c", "b"]);

#### `fn reverse(&mut self)`
1.0.0

Reverses the order of elements in the slice, in place.

# Example

    let mut v = [1, 2, 3];
    v.reverse();
    assert!(v == [3, 2, 1]);

#### `fn iter(&self) -> Iter<T>`
1.0.0

    }
    assert_eq!(x, &[3, 4, 6]);

#### `fn windows(&self, size: usize) -> Windows<T>`
1.0.0

Returns an iterator over all contiguous windows of length `size`. The windows overlap. If the slice is shorter than `size`, the iterator returns no values.

# Panics

Panics if `size` is 0.

# Example

    let slice = ['r', 'u', 's', 't'];
    let mut iter = slice.windows(2);
    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &['r', 'u']);
    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &['u', 's']);
    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &['s', 't']);
    assert!(iter.next().is_none());

If the slice is shorter than `size`:

    let slice = ['f', 'o', 'o'];
    let mut iter = slice.windows(4);
    assert!(iter.next().is_none());

#### `fn chunks(&self, size: usize) -> Chunks<T>`
1.0.0

# Example

    let slice = ['l', 'o', 'r', 'e', 'm'];
    let mut iter = slice.chunks(2);
    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &['l', 'o']);
    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &['r', 'e']);
    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &['m']);
    assert!(iter.next().is_none());

#### `fn chunks_mut(&mut self, chunk_size: usize) -> ChunksMut<T>`
1.0.0

Returns an iterator over `chunk_size` elements of the slice at a time. The chunks are mutable slices, and do not overlap. If `chunk_size` does not divide the length of the slice, then the last chunk will not have length `chunk_size`.

# Panics

Panics if `chunk_size` is 0.

# Examples

    let v = &mut [0, 0, 0, 0, 0];
    let mut count = 1;

    for chunk in v.chunks_mut(2) {
        for elem in chunk.iter_mut() {
            *elem += count;
        }
        count += 1;
    }
    assert_eq!(v, &[1, 1, 2, 2, 3]);

#### `fn split_at(&self, mid: usize) -> (&[T], &[T])`
1.0.0

The first will contain all indices from `[0, mid)` (excluding the index `mid` itself) and the second will contain all indices from `[mid, len)` (excluding the index `len` itself).

# Panics

Panics if `mid > len`.

# Examples

    let v = [10, 40, 30, 20, 50];
    let (v1, v2) = v.split_at(2);
    assert_eq!([10, 40], v1);
    assert_eq!([30, 20, 50], v2);

#### `fn split_at_mut(&mut self, mid: usize) -> (&mut [T], &mut [T])`
1.0.0

Divides one `&mut` into two at an index.

The first will contain all indices from `[0, mid)` (excluding the index `mid` itself) and the second will contain all indices from `[mid, len)` (excluding the index `len` itself).

# Panics

Panics if `mid > len`.

# Examples

    let mut v = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

    // scoped to restrict the lifetime of the borrows
    {
       let (left, right) = v.split_at_mut(0);
       assert!(left == []);
       assert!(right == [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
    }

    {
        let (left, right) = v.split_at_mut(2);
        assert!(left == [1, 2]);
        assert!(right == [3, 4, 5, 6]);
    }

    {
        let (left, right) = v.split_at_mut(6);
        assert!(left == [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
        assert!(right == []);
    }

#### `fn split<F>(&self, pred: F) -> Split<T, F> where
F: FnMut(&T) -> bool,`
1.0.0

Returns an iterator over subslices separated by elements that match `pred`. The matched element is not contained in the subslices.

# Examples

    let slice = [10, 40, 33, 20];
    let mut iter = slice.split(|num| num % 3 == 0);

    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &[10, 40]);
    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &[20]);
    assert!(iter.next().is_none());

If the first element is matched, an empty slice will be the first item returned by the iterator. Similarly, if the last element in the slice is matched, an empty slice will be the last item returned by the iterator:

    let slice = [10, 40, 33];
    let mut iter = slice.split(|num| num % 3 == 0);

    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &[10, 40]);
    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &[]);
    assert!(iter.next().is_none());

If two matched elements are directly adjacent, an empty slice will be present between them:

    let slice = [10, 6, 33, 20];
    let mut iter = slice.split(|num| num % 3 == 0);

    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &[10]);
    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &[]);
    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &[20]);
    assert!(iter.next().is_none());

#### `fn split_mut<F>(&mut self, pred: F) -> SplitMut<T, F> where
F: FnMut(&T) -> bool,`
1.0.0

Returns an iterator over mutable subslices separated by elements that match `pred`. The matched element is not contained in the subslices.

# Examples

    let mut v = [10, 40, 30, 20, 60, 50];

    for group in v.split_mut(|num| *num % 3 == 0) {
        group[0] = 1;
    }
    assert_eq!(v, [1, 40, 30, 1, 60, 1]);

#### `fn rsplit<F>(&self, pred: F) -> RSplit<T, F> where
F: FnMut(&T) -> bool,`

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`slice_rsplit`)

Returns an iterator over subslices separated by elements that match `pred`, starting at the end of the slice and working backwards. The matched element is not contained in the subslices.

# Examples

    #![feature(slice_rsplit)]

    let slice = [11, 22, 33, 0, 44, 55];
    let mut iter = slice.rsplit(|num| *num == 0);

    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &[44, 55]);
    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &[11, 22, 33]);
    assert_eq!(iter.next(), None);

As with `split()`, if the first or last element is matched, an empty slice will be the first (or last) item returned by the iterator.

    #![feature(slice_rsplit)]

    let v = &[0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8];
    let mut it = v.rsplit(|n| *n % 2 == 0);
    assert_eq!(it.next().unwrap(), &[]);
    assert_eq!(it.next().unwrap(), &[3, 5]);
    assert_eq!(it.next().unwrap(), &[1, 1]);
    assert_eq!(it.next().unwrap(), &[]);
    assert_eq!(it.next(), None);

    for group in v.rsplit_mut(|num| *num % 3 == 0) {
        count += 1;
        group[0] = count;
    }
    assert_eq!(v, [3, 400, 300, 2, 600, 1]);

    for group in s.rsplitn_mut(2, |num| *num % 3 == 0) {
        group[0] = 1;
    }
    assert_eq!(s, [1, 40, 30, 20, 60, 1]);

#### `fn contains(&self, x: &T) -> bool where
T: PartialEq<T>,`

    assert!(v.ends_with(&[]));

#### `fn binary_search(&self, x: &T) -> Result<usize, usize> where
T: Ord,`
1.0.0

Binary searches this sorted slice for a given element.

If the value is found then `Ok` is returned, containing the index of the matching element; if the value is not found then `Err` is returned, containing the index where a matching element could be inserted while maintaining sorted order.

# Example

Looks up a series of four elements. The first is found, with a uniquely determined position; the second and third are not found; the fourth could match any position in `[1, 4]`.

    let s = [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55];

    assert_eq!(s.binary_search(&13),  Ok(9));
    assert_eq!(s.binary_search(&4),   Err(7));
    assert_eq!(s.binary_search(&100), Err(13));

#### `fn binary_search_by<'a, F>(&'a self, f: F) -> Result<usize, usize> where
F: FnMut(&'a T) -> Ordering,`
1.0.0

Binary searches this sorted slice with a comparator function.

The comparator function should implement an order consistent with the sort order of the underlying slice, returning an order code that indicates whether its argument is `Less`, `Equal` or `Greater` the desired target.

If a matching value is found then returns `Ok`, containing the index for the matched element; if no match is found then `Err` is returned, containing the index where a matching element could be inserted while maintaining sorted order.

# Example

Looks up a series of four elements. The first is found, with a uniquely determined position; the second and third are not found; the fourth could match any position in `[1, 4]`.

    let s = [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55];

    let seek = 13;
    assert_eq!(s.binary_search_by(|probe| probe.cmp(&seek)), Ok(9));
    let seek = 4;
    assert_eq!(s.binary_search_by(|probe| probe.cmp(&seek)), Err(7));
    let seek = 100;
    assert_eq!(s.binary_search_by(|probe| probe.cmp(&seek)), Err(13));

    assert!(match r { Ok(1...4) => true, _ => false, });

#### `fn binary_search_by_key<'a, B, F>(&'a self, b: &B, f: F) -> Result<usize, usize> where
B: Ord,
F: FnMut(&'a T) -> B,`
1.10.0

Binary searches this sorted slice with a key extraction function.

Assumes that the slice is sorted by the key, for instance with `sort_by_key` using the same key extraction function.

If a matching value is found then returns `Ok`, containing the index for the matched element; if no match is found then `Err` is returned, containing the index where a matching element could be inserted while maintaining sorted order.

# Examples

Looks up a series of four elements in a slice of pairs sorted by their second elements. The first is found, with a uniquely determined position; the second and third are not found; the fourth could match any position in `[1, 4]`.

    let s = [(0, 0), (2, 1), (4, 1), (5, 1), (3, 1),
             (1, 2), (2, 3), (4, 5), (5, 8), (3, 13),
             (1, 21), (2, 34), (4, 55)];

    assert_eq!(s.binary_search_by_key(&13, |&(a,b)| b),  Ok(9));
    assert_eq!(s.binary_search_by_key(&4, |&(a,b)| b),   Err(7));
    assert_eq!(s.binary_search_by_key(&100, |&(a,b)| b), Err(13));
    let r = s.binary_search_by_key(&1, |&(a,b)| b);
    assert!(match r { Ok(1...4) => true, _ => false, });

#### `fn sort(&mut self) where
T: Ord,`
1.0.0

Sorts the slice.

This sort is stable (i.e. does not reorder equal elements) and `O(n log n)` worst-case.

# Current implementation

The current algorithm is an adaptive, iterative merge sort inspired by timsort. It is designed to be very fast in cases where the slice is nearly sorted, or consists of two or more sorted sequences concatenated one after another.

Also, it allocates temporary storage half the size of `self`, but for short slices a non-allocating insertion sort is used instead.

# Examples

    let mut v = [-5, 4, 1, -3, 2];

    v.sort();
    assert!(v == [-5, -3, 1, 2, 4]);

#### `fn sort_by<F>(&mut self, compare: F) where
F: FnMut(&T, &T) -> Ordering,`
1.0.0

Sorts the slice with a comparator function.

This sort is stable (i.e. does not reorder equal elements) and `O(n log n)` worst-case.

    assert!(v == [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);

    // reverse sorting
    v.sort_by(|a, b| b.cmp(a));
    assert!(v == [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]);

#### `fn sort_by_key<B, F>(&mut self, f: F) where
B: Ord,
F: FnMut(&T) -> B,`
1.7.0

Sorts the slice with a key extraction function.

This sort is stable (i.e. does not reorder equal elements) and `O(n log n)` worst-case.

#### `fn sort_unstable(&mut self) where
T: Ord,`

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`sort_unstable`)

Sorts the slice, but may not preserve the order of equal elements.

This sort is unstable (i.e. may reorder equal elements), in-place (i.e. does not allocate), and `O(n log n)` worst-case.

# Current implementation

The current algorithm is based on Orson Peters' pattern-defeating quicksort, which is a quicksort variant designed to be very fast on certain kinds of patterns, sometimes achieving linear time. It is randomized but deterministic, and falls back to heapsort on degenerate inputs.

It is generally faster than stable sorting, except in a few special cases, e.g. when the slice consists of several concatenated sorted sequences.

# Examples

    #![feature(sort_unstable)]

    let mut v = [-5, 4, 1, -3, 2];

    v.sort_unstable();
    assert!(v == [-5, -3, 1, 2, 4]);

#### `fn sort_unstable_by_key<B, F>(&mut self, f: F) where

#### `fn rotate(&mut self, mid: usize)`

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`slice_rotate`)

Permutes the slice in-place such that `self[mid..]` moves to the beginning of the slice while `self[..mid]` moves to the end of the slice. Equivalently, rotates the slice `mid` places to the left or `k = self.len() - mid` places to the right.

This is a "k-rotation", a permutation in which item `i` moves to position `i + k`, modulo the length of the slice. See Elements of Programming §10.4.

Rotation by `mid` and rotation by `k` are inverse operations.

# Panics

This function will panic if `mid` is greater than the length of the slice. (Note that `mid == self.len()` does not panic; it's a nop rotation with `k == 0`, the inverse of a rotation with `mid == 0`.)

# Complexity

Takes linear (in `self.len()`) time.

# Examples

    #![feature(slice_rotate)]

    let mut a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7];
    let mid = 2;
    a.rotate(mid);
    assert_eq!(&a, &[3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2]);
    let k = a.len() - mid;
    a.rotate(k);
    assert_eq!(&a, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]);

    use std::ops::Range;
    fn slide<T>(slice: &mut [T], range: Range<usize>, to: usize) {
        if to < range.start {
            slice[to..range.end].rotate(range.start-to);
        } else if to > range.end {
            slice[range.start..to].rotate(range.end-range.start);
        }
    }
    let mut v: Vec<_> = (0..10).collect();
    slide(&mut v, 1..4, 7);
    assert_eq!(&v, &[0, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9]);
    slide(&mut v, 6..8, 1);
    assert_eq!(&v, &[0, 3, 7, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 8, 9]);

#### `fn clone_from_slice(&mut self, src: &[T]) where
T: Clone,`
1.7.0

Copies the elements from `src` into `self`.

The length of `src` must be the same as `self`.

If `src` implements `Copy`, it can be more performant to use `copy_from_slice`.

# Panics

This function will panic if the two slices have different lengths.

# Example

    let mut dst = [0, 0, 0];
    let src = [1, 2, 3];

    dst.clone_from_slice(&src);
    assert!(dst == [1, 2, 3]);

#### `fn copy_from_slice(&mut self, src: &[T]) where
T: Copy,`
1.9.0

Copies all elements from `src` into `self`, using a memcpy.

The length of `src` must be the same as `self`.

If `src` does not implement `Copy`, use `clone_from_slice`.

# Panics

This function will panic if the two slices have different lengths.

# Example

    let mut dst = [0, 0, 0];
    let src = [1, 2, 3];

    dst.copy_from_slice(&src);
    assert_eq!(src, dst);

#### `fn to_vec(&self) -> Vec<T> where
T: Clone,`
1.0.0

Copies `self` into a new `Vec`.

# Examples

    let s = [10, 40, 30];
    let x = s.to_vec();
    // Here, `s` and `x` can be modified independently.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
