How Does. Slice Work

The slice() method returns a shallow copy of a portion of an array into a new array object selected from start to end ( end not included) where start and end represent the index of items in that array. The original array will not be modified.

Where slice method is used?

This method is used to limit the selection of elements in a group, by a start and end point: the start parameter is a starting index (starts at 0) from which to create the subset, and the stop parameter is an optional ending point.

How do you slice a list in JavaScript?

  1. Example: <script> function func() { // Original Array. var arr = [23,56,87,32,75,13]; // Extracted array. var new_arr = arr.slice(2,4); document.write(arr); document.write( “<br>” ); document.write(new_arr); } func(); </script>
  2. Output: [23,56,87,32,75,13] [87,32]
