.slice in js code example

Example 1: javascript slice array

// 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: javascript slice

//The slice() method extracts a section of a string and returns 
//it as a new string, without modifying the original string.

// same in array but you select elements not characters  


const str = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.';

console.log(str.slice(31));
// expected output: "the lazy dog."

console.log(str.slice(4, 19));
// expected output: "quick brown fox"

console.log(str.slice(-4));
// expected output: "dog."

console.log(str.slice(-9, -5));
// expected output: "lazy"

console.log(str.slice(0, 2)); 
// expected output: "the"
// Up to and including the last index!!!
// Different for python.

Example 3: slice()

/"slice() copies or extracts a given number of elements to a new array"/

let weatherConditions = ['rain', 'snow', 'sleet', 'hail', 'clear'];

let todaysWeather = weatherConditions.slice(1, 3);
// todaysWeather equals ['snow', 'sleet'];
// weatherConditions still equals ['rain', 'snow', 'sleet', 'hail', 'clear']

Example 4: slice javascript string

const str = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.';

console.log(str.slice(31));
// expected output: "the lazy dog."

console.log(str.slice(4, 19));
// expected output: "quick brown fox"

Example 5: slice javascript

const string="Hi my name is mezen";
string.slice (2); // return string without the character of index 2;
string.slice (6); // return string without the character of index 6;

string.slice (3,7) /* return 'my na' (m of index 3; a of index 7) including the
                      blank spaces */

Example 6: js slice

const arr=[1,2,3,4,5];

const slicedArr = arr.slice(1,4); // slicedArr = [2,3,4]
