Except for <a href="#Constants">untyped strings</a>, if the sliced operand is a string or slice,
the result of the slice operation is a non-constant value of the same type as the operand.
For untyped string operands the result is a non-constant value of type <code>string</code>.
If the sliced operand is an array, it must be <a href="#Address_operators">addressable</a>
and the result of the slice operation is a slice with the same element type as the array.

  /**
   * Performs a partition operation on the slice of {@code array} with elements in the range [{@code
   * from}, {@code to}]. Uses the median of {@code from}, {@code to}, and the midpoint between them
   * as a pivot. Returns the index which the slice is partitioned around, i.e. if it returns {@code

   * it is returned directly. Otherwise, a new array of size {@code minLength + padding} is
   * returned, containing the values of {@code array}, and zeroes in the remaining places.

   * @param array the source array

    ellipses, newaxis, and negative indices. For example complicated expressions
    like `foo[1, 2:4, tf.newaxis, ..., :-3:-1, :]` are now supported. In
    addition we have preliminary (non-broadcasting) support for sliced
    assignment to variables. In particular one can write
    `var[1:3].assign([1,11,111])`.
