slice array from N to last element
JavascriptJavascript Problem Overview
How to make this transformation?
["a","b","c","d","e"] // => ["c", "d", "e"]
I was thinking that slice
can do this, but..
["a","b","c","d","e"].slice(2,-1) // [ 'c', 'd' ]
["a","b","c","d","e"].slice(2,0) // []
Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
Don't use the second argument:
Array.slice(2);
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/slice
> If end is omitted, slice extracts to the end of the sequence.
Solution 2 - Javascript
An important consideration relating to the answer by @insomniac is that splice
and slice
are two completely different functions, with the main difference being:
splice
manipulates the original array.slice
returns a sub-set of the original array, with the original array remaining untouched.
See: http://ariya.ofilabs.com/2014/02/javascript-array-slice-vs-splice.html for more information.
Solution 3 - Javascript
Just give the starting index as you want rest of the data from the array..
["a","b","c","d","e"].splice(2) => ["c", "d", "e"]
Solution 4 - Javascript
["a","b","c","d","e"].slice(-3) => ["c","d","e"]
Solution 5 - Javascript
Slice ends at the specified end argument but does not include it. If you want to include it you have to specify the last index as the length of the array (5 in this case) as opposed to the end index (-1) etc.
["a","b","c","d","e"].slice(2,5)
// = ['c','d','e']
Solution 6 - Javascript
You must add a "-" before n If the index is negative, the end indicates an offset from the end.
function getTail(arr, n) {
return arr.slice(-n);
}
Solution 7 - Javascript
var arr = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"];
arr.splice(0,2);
console.log(arr);
Please use above code. May be this you need.
