split string function code example

Example 1: javascript split by comma

<script>
var names = 'Harry,John,Clark,Peter,Rohn,Alice';
var nameArr = names.split(',');
console.log(nameArr);
 
// Accessing individual values
alert(nameArr[0]); // Outputs: Harry
alert(nameArr[1]); // Outputs: John
alert(nameArr[nameArr.length - 1]); // Outputs: Alice
 
var str = 'Hello World!';
var chars = str.split('');
console.log();
 
// Accessing individual values
alert(chars[0]); // Outputs: H
alert(chars[1]); // Outputs: e
alert(chars[chars.length - 1]); // Outputs: !
</script>

var arr = foo.split('');

Example 3: split()

const str = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.';
console.log(str.split(''));
console.log(str.split(' '));
console.log(str.split('ox'));
> Array ["T", "h", "e", " ", "q", "u", "i", "c", "k", " ", "b", "r", "o", "w", "n", " ", "f", "o", "x", " ", "j", "u", "m", "p", "s", " ", "o", "v", "e", "r", " ", "t", "h", "e", " ", "l", "a", "z", "y", " ", "d", "o", "g", "."] 
> Array ["The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy", "dog."] 
> Array ["The quick brown f", " jumps over the lazy dog."]


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

const words = str.split(' ');
console.log(words[3]);
// expected output: "fox"

const chars = str.split('');
console.log(chars[8]);
// expected output: "k"

const strCopy = str.split();
