# arrayrange

**Syntax**

```programlisting
arrayrange (<array>, <start>, <end>)
```

**Description**

The `arrayrange()` function returns a portion, or a slice, of an array given a start and end range. Indices are 0-based, and the start range is inclusive, but the end range is exclusive.

**Example**

So if you have an array:

```programlisting
[0,1,2,3,4,5,6]
```

and you specify:

```programlisting
arrayrange(<array>, 2, 4)
```

the function will return:

```programlisting
[2,3]
```

If you specify an end index that is higher than the last element in the array, the resulting array contains the starting element to the end of the array.

```programlisting
arrayrange(<array>, 2, 8)
```

the function will return:

```programlisting
[2,3,4,5,6]
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-3.x/cortex-xdr-3.x-documentation/cortex-xdr-xql/functions/arrayrange.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
