sublist

Format: sublist( list, offset, len )

Arguments: [any] list Input list

(int) offset Starting location of the sublist

(int) len Length of the sublist

Returns: [any] The portion of list beginning at offset and containing len elements

Note: The offset argument can be a list of integers that specify a position deep within a hierarchical list. The first integer in the list is the offset on the first level, the second element is the offset on the second level, and so on. For example, the element at offset 2 in the list [[1,2],[3,4,5],[6,7]] is the sublist [3,4,5]. The element at offset [2,3] is the number 5.

Examples: sublist([3,4,5,6,7],0,2) = [3,4]

sublist([3,4,5,6,7],1,3) = [4,5,6]

sublist([3,4,5,6,7],1,100) = [4,5,6,7]

sublist([3,4,5,6,7],100,5) = null

sublist([[1,2],[3,4]],[1,1],1) = 4
