Get all elements in an array after a certain index in JavaScript

rated 0 times [ 68] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 21712 / 11 Years ago, sun, september 8, 2013, 12:00:00

In python doing this would be as simple as:

mylist = ['red','blue','green','yellow']

print(mylist[1:])

'blue','green','yellow'

When I tried this in JavaScript mylist[0] returned 'red' etc. but when I tried doing something like mylist[1:] in JavaScript it was not correct syntax.

What is a good method of doing this in JavaScript? Basically get all elements after a specified index, and to be specific, I am doing this in Node.js, but I do not think that matters much.

You can use the slice method like below:

mylist = ['red','blue','green','yellow'];

console.log(mylist.slice(1));

Output:

[blue, green, yellow]
