slice Examples

The general syntax for this method is:

arrayName.slice(starting index, ending index)

This method copies a range of elements from one array into a new array. slice does NOT change the original array, but returns a new array.

The ending index is optional. If it is left out, slice returns a new array that includes everything from the starting index to the end of the original array.

If both indices are used, the new array contains everything from the starting index up to, but NOT including the ending index.

Example

let arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'];

arr.slice(2);

arr.slice(1,4);

console.log(arr);

Output

[ 'c', 'd', 'e' ]
[ 'b', 'c', 'd' ]
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
