jquery array slice splice code example

Example 1: javascript slice vs splice

var array=[1,2,3,4,5]
console.log(array.slice(2));
// shows [3, 4, 5], returned selected element(s).
 
console.log(array.slice(-2));
// shows [4, 5], returned selected element(s).
console.log(array);
// shows [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], original array remains intact.
 
var array2=[6,7,8,9,0];
console.log(array2.slice(2,4));
// shows [8, 9]
 
console.log(array2.slice(-2,4));
// shows [9]
 
console.log(array2.slice(-3,-1));
// shows [8, 9]
 
console.log(array2);
// shows [6, 7, 8, 9, 0]

Example 2: splice javascript

const months = ['Jan', 'March', 'April', 'June'];
months.splice(1, 0, 'Feb');
// inserts at index 1
console.log(months);
// expected output: Array ["Jan", "Feb", "March", "April", "June"]

months.splice(4, 1, 'May');
// replaces 1 element at index 4
console.log(months);
// expected output: Array ["Jan", "Feb", "March", "April", "May"]

months.splice(0, 1);
// removes 1 element at index 0
console.log(months);
// expected output: Array ["Feb", "March", "April", "May"]
