The view() is an inbuilt function in julia which is used to return a view into the given parent array A with the given indices instead of making a copy.
Syntax: view(A, inds...) Parameters:
  • A: Specified parent array.
  • inds: Specified indices.
Returns: It returns a view into the given parent array A with the given indices instead of making a copy.
Example: Python 
# Julia program to illustrate 
# the use of view() method
 
# Getting a view into the given parent
# array A with the given indices 
# instead of making a copy.
A = [5, 10, 15, 20];
println(view(A, 2))

B = [5 10; 15 20];
println(view(B, :, 1))

C = cat([1 2; 3 4], [5 6; 7 8], dims = 3);
println(view(C, :, :, 1))
Output:

@view()

The @view() is an inbuilt function in julia which is used to create a sub array from the given indexing expression.
Syntax: @view A[inds...] Parameters:
  • A: Specified parent array.
  • inds: Specified indices.
Returns: It returns the created sub array from the given indexing expression.
Example: Python 
# Julia program to illustrate 
# the use of @view() method
 
# Getting the created sub array 
# from the given indexing expression.
A = [5, 10, 15, 20];
println(@view A[3])

B = [5 10; 15 20];
println(@view B[:, 1])

C = cat([1 2; 3 4], [5 6; 7 8], [2 2; 3 4], dims = 3);
println(@view(C[:, :, 2]))
Output:

@views()

The @views() is an inbuilt function in julia which is used to convert every given array-slicing operation in the given expression.
Syntax: @views expression Parameters:
  • expression: Specified expression.
Returns: It returns the desired view.
Example: Python 
# Julia program to illustrate 
# the use of @views() method
 
# Getting the created sub array 
# from the given indexing expression.
A = zeros(4, 4);
@views for row in 2:4
    b = A[row, :]
    b[:] .= row
end
println(A)
Output:
