Explore the concept of slicing slices in Rust by learning how to extract smaller parts of arrays, Vecs, and slices using Rust's range syntax. Understand how to use start and end indices correctly, avoid off-by-one errors, and apply flexible slicing techniques for efficient data handling within collections.
