Is there a way to specify a range for slicing that is bounded only on one side?
I can do i = 1:10; a[i] for bounded on both sides and I can do i = Colon(); a[i] for using the whole array.
Is there a simple way to do something like i = n:end; a[i] ?
Note that I want to reuse i for multiple arrays of potentially different length, so I can’t just write i = n:lastindex(a) .

I don’t think such a thing exists - but maybe there’s a package I don’t know about. You can make your own HalfOpenRange type

I seem to remember a simple package doing that

Yeah, I just implemented this in my script. That works for now

struct LowerBoundedSlice
    i::Int
end
Base.getindex(x::T, l::LowerBoundedSlice) where {T<:AbstractArray}= x[filter(>=(l.i), axes(x,1))]

i = n:typemax(Int); a[i ∩ (begin:end)]
