## Exercises Level V - Advanced Operations
Commonly used and more advanced operations are available to slices. Now, it's time to test yourself and fix some common problems.
2019-03-06 01:26:13 +03:00
★ WARNING ★
Please update your local copy of the prettyslice package for some examples to work. [Please find the intructions how to do so here ](../README.md ).
2019-03-05 23:32:32 +03:00
1. ** [Practice Advanced Slice Operations ](https://github.com/inancgumus/learngo/tree/master/16-slices/exercises/22-adv-ops-practice )**
Let's warm you up for the advanced slice operations, and reinforce your neurons.
2. ** [Limit the backing array sharing ](https://github.com/inancgumus/learngo/tree/master/16-slices/exercises/23-limit-the-backing-array-sharing )**
Your API does not control the slices that it share with the outside world. You need to fix it.
2019-03-05 23:49:54 +03:00
3. ** [Fix the Memory Leak ](https://github.com/inancgumus/learngo/tree/master/16-slices/exercises/24-fix-the-memory-leak )**
2019-03-05 23:32:32 +03:00
A slice retrieved from an API causes a memory leak in your program. You need to fix it.
4. ** [Add newlines to the lyric sentences ](https://github.com/inancgumus/learngo/tree/master/16-slices/exercises/25-add-lines )**
Use the power of the `copy()` function and add newlines into a new buffer from a string slice. This exercise is more tricky than you might think.
5. ** [Print Daily Requests ](https://github.com/inancgumus/learngo/tree/master/16-slices/exercises/26-print-daily-requests )**
Group the requests log into a multi-dimensional from a single-dimensional slice. Allocate a slice with the exact size needed by doing some wizardary calculations. And lastly, pretty print the result.
