JavaScript Tutorial For Beginners #25 - Slice and Split Strings

Yo ninjas, I just want to show you a couple of neat little string methods (functions) in this JavaScript tutorial. The slice method and the split method. The slice method literally 'slices' your string into a new segment defined by starting and ending points. The split method, splits a string into multiple 'pockets' and puts them into an array (great for splitting tags).

As always, any questions, fire away below :).

This tutorial made me hungry for prok~!
But, f'reals though, you and the tutorials you make are awesome!
A very nice balance of thorough, to-the-point lecturing, and light-hearted feels.
Please keep doing what you do! <3

I actually was planning to use split, so searched that in YouTube. But while watching this video, I realised slice is more fitting for my purpose. Cheers!

<script>
var spy = "I was loving you"

var spy2 = spy.slice(0);

var spy3 = spy2.slice(6);

document.write(spy3 + " daily NetNinja");
</script>

Hello,

[batumanav]

16 dislikers are the ones who split strings to "llo, wo"
