# Function subset
Get or set a subset of a matrix or string.
## Syntax
```js
math.subset(value, index) // retrieve a subset
math.subset(value, index, replacement [, defaultValue]) // replace a subset
```
### Parameters
Parameter | Type | Description
--------- | ---- | -----------
`matrix` | Array &#124; Matrix &#124; string | An array, matrix, or string
`index` | Index | For each dimension of the target, specifies an index or a list of indices to fetch or set. `subset` uses the cartesian product of the indices specified in each dimension.
`replacement` | * | An array, matrix, or scalar. If provided, the subset is replaced with replacement. If not provided, the subset is returned
`defaultValue` | * | Default value, filled in on new entries when the matrix is resized. If not provided, math.matrix elements will be left undefined. Default value: undefined.
### Returns
Type | Description
---- | -----------
Array &#124; Matrix &#124; string | Either the retrieved subset or the updated matrix.
### Throws

## Examples
```js
// get a subset
const d = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
math.subset(d, math.index(1, 0)) // returns 3
math.subset(d, math.index([0, 1], 1)) // returns [[2], [4]]
// replace a subset
const e = []
const f = math.subset(e, math.index(0, [0, 2]), [5, 6]) // f = [[5, 6]] and e = [[5, 0, 6]]
const g = math.subset(f, math.index(1, 1), 7, 0) // g = [[5, 6], [0, 7]]
// get submatrix using ranges
const M = [
[1,2,3],
[4,5,6],
[7,8,9]
]
math.subset(M, math.index(math.range(0,2), math.range(0,3))) // [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]
```
