     9  # `slice` Function
    10  
    11  `slice` extracts some consecutive elements from within a list.
    12  
    13  ```hcl
    14  slice(list, startindex, endindex)
    15  ```
    16  
    17  `startindex` is inclusive, while `endindex` is exclusive. This function returns
    18  an error if either index is outside the bounds of valid indices for the given
    19  list.
    20

    26    "b",
    27    "c",
    28  ]
