mdn slice array code example

// array.slice(start, end)
const FRUITS = ["Banana", "Orange", "Lemon", "Apple", "Mango"];
var citrus = FRUITS.slice(1, 3);
// citrus => [ 'Orange', 'Lemon' ]

// Negative values slice in the opposite direction
var fromTheEnd = FRUITS.slice(-3, -1);
// fromTheEnd => [ 'Lemon', 'Apple' ]

Example 2: js string slicing

// expected output: Array ["camel", "duck"]

console.log(animals.slice(1, 5));
// expected output: Array ["bison", "camel", "duck", "elephant"]
