Section titled “Get the 1st, 3rd, and 5th characters”from {x: "1234567890"}x = x.slice(stride=2, end=6){x: "135"}Select a substring from the 2nd character up to the 8th character
Section titled “Select a substring from the 2nd character up to the 8th character”from {x: "1234567890"}x = x.slice(begin=1, end=8){x: "2345678"}
