array.slice(-1) 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: array.slice

const animals = ['ant', 'bison', 'camel', 'duck', 'elephant'];

console.log(animals.slice(2));
// expected output: Array ["camel", "duck", "elephant"]

console.log(animals.slice(2, 4));
// expected output: Array ["camel", "duck"]

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

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']
