-# $slice
-
-The `$slice` update operator modifies an array by limiting its size. When used with the `$push` operator, it restricts the number of elements in an array, keeping only the specified number of most recent or oldest elements.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `field`: The array field to modify.
-
-  * `count`: Maximum number of elements to keep. Positive values keep the first N elements, negative values keep the last N elements.
-
-
-
-
-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-The following example demonstrates how to use the `$slice` update operator with `$push` to maintain a fixed-size array of recent scores.
-
-**Create sample documents**
-    
-    
-    db.students.insertOne({
-      _id: 1,
-      name: "Alice",
-      scores: [85, 90, 78]
-    });
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.students.updateOne(
-      { _id: 1 },
-      {
-        $push: {
-          scores: {
-            $each: [92, 88],
-            $slice: -3
-          }
-        }
-      }
-    )
-
-**Output**
-    
-    
-    {
-      "_id" : 1,
-      "name" : "Alice",
-      "scores" : [ 78, 92, 88 ]
-    }
-
-In this example, the `$slice: -3` modifier keeps only the last three elements after pushing new values to the array.
