mdn slice js code example

Example 1: 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 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.
