JavaScript String slice() Method

The string.slice() is an inbuilt method in javascript that is used to return a part or slice of the given input string.

Syntax:

string.slice(startingIndex, endingIndex)

Parameters: This method uses two parameters. This method does not change the original string.

• startingIndex: from which index, the extraction of the string should be started.
• endingIndex: before which index, the extraction of the string should be included.
