`start:end:step`

[xushiwei]

a[start:end:step] = value

for i <- start:end:step {
    ...
}

for i := range start:end:step {
    ...
}

for range start:end:step {
    ...
}

for start:end:step {
    ...
}

It's awkward that there is a slice syntax a[start:end:cap] in Go. However, if a is not a slice or array type, we still can use a[start:end:step].

Or usestart:end by step?

a[start:end by step] = value

for i <- start:end by step {
    ...
}

for i := range start:end by step {
    ...
}

julia & matlab:

start:step:end

type Matrix[T Numeric] struct ...

func (m *Matrix[T]) [] (i, j int) T { // getter: x = m[i, j] translates to x = m.[](i, j)
}

func (m *Matrix[T]) []= (i, j int, x T) { // setter: m[i, j] = x translates to m.[]=(i, j, x)
}
