The Excerpt Maker
Medium+25 XP
Mission Briefing
The news feed on our smart watches is overflowing. You need to build an Excerpt Maker that aggressively truncates the massive news articles into tiny 5-character previews!
The Concept: String Slicing
The .slice(start, end) method extracts a section of a string and returns it as a new string, without modifying the original string. The item at the end index is not included.
Example: "JavaScript".slice(0, 4); // Returns "Java"
The Objective
Your function receives a long article string.
- Use
.slice()to extract exactly the first 5 characters. - Return that 5-character preview string.
