Arguments

start A number specifying the index of the starting point for the slice. If start is a negative number, the starting point is determined from the end of the string, where -1 is the last character.

end A number specifying the index of the ending point for the slice. If end is not specified, the slice includes all characters from the start to the end of the string. If end is a negative number, the ending point is determined from the end of the string, where -1 is the last character.
