Try it yourself »

## Definition and Usage

The slice() method selects a subset of elements based on its index.

A subset is a set that is a part of a larger set.

This method is used to limit the selection of elements in a group, by a start and end point: the start parameter is a starting index (starts at 0) from which to create the subset, and the stop parameter is an optional ending point.

## Syntax

$(selector).slice(start,stop)

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
start | Required. Specifies where to start the selection of elements. The index numbers start at 0. Note: Using a negative number will select elements from the end of the selected elements, instead of the beginning.
stop | Optional. Specifies where to end the selection of elements. If omitted, the selection continues until the end of the set. The index numbers start at 0. Note: Using a negative number will select elements from the end of the selected elements, instead of the beginning.
