Hi Friends đź‘‹,

Welcome To Infinitbility! ❤️

Today, we are going to learn how to get the first 5 elements of an array in javascript, here we will use the javascript built-in method .slice() which helps us to get our desired elements from an array.

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.

– MDN

Okay, here we will do

  1. Create a sample array
  2. Use .slice() method to get first five elements
  3. Check whether array elements get extracted properly or not
// create sample array variable
const animals = ['ant', 'bison', 'camel', 'duck', 'elephant', 'lion', 'tiger'];

// Use `.slice()` method to get first five elements
const firstFiveAnimal = animals.slice(0, 4)

// Check array elements get extract properly or not
console.log("firstFiveAnimal", firstFiveAnimal)

When you run the above code, you will get only the first five elements,

Let’s check the output.

Output

javascript, get first 5 elements of array
javascript, get first 5 elements of array

All the best đź‘Ť.
