bookString Slicing 1/2

To get get a substring from a string, you have to use slice() function.

The syntax of slice() function:. slice(start: end: step) respectively:

  • start -- the index from which to start slicing.
  • end -- the index at which the slicing ends.
  • step -- this parameter determines the increments between the indices.

Ending index is up to but not including.

Indexing starts from 0.

It's time for an example.
