slice array from N to last element

Question

How to make this transformation?

[\"a\",\"b\",\"c\",\"d\",\"e\"] // => [\"c\", \"d\", \"e\"]

I was thinking that slice can

Answer 1

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']

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Don't use the second argument:

Array.slice(2);

If end is omitted, slice extracts to the end of the sequence.

Answer 4

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"]

Answer 5

var arr = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"];
arr.splice(0,2);
console.log(arr);

Please use above code. May be this you need.

Answer 6

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);
}
