Shawn writes that you should have 100% test code coverage, Jason agrees. Tokes , a co-worker and the person who pointed these posts out to me, disagrees . I also disagree.

List < int > initial = new List < int > { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; var sliced = initial.Slice(1, 4); // 2, 3, 4 sliced = initial.Slice(0, 5, 2); // 1, 3, 5 sliced = initial.Slice( null , null , -2); // 5, 3, 1 sliced = initial.Slice( null...
