Create variable from an item in an array to another item

Question

How do I make a variable equal to every item between 2 items in an array? So it would only make the variable contain the items in the array that are above the place 0 in the list.

An example of what I mean is this: let message = array[1, array.length]

So in an array like this ["dog", "cat", "fish", "snake", "elephant"] if it was to be printed to the console it would print cat, fish, snake and elephant

What you are after is splice() and split(). I have added a demo for you below:

var arr = ["dog", "cat", "fish", "snake", "elephant"];

// Array.splice() will take everything at / after the index you specify
console.log(arr.slice(1)); // ['cat','fish','snake','elephant']

// array.splice will show everything located on or between the index you specify.
console.log(arr.splice(1,3)); // ['cat', 'fish', 'snake']
