$("selector").slice(start, end)

$("selector").slice(start, end)

slices matched set into subset specified by start and optional end.

Example 1:

$("div").slice(0,1)

will first find all

<div>

then slice the mathced set into subset starting from element at

index=0

and ending "but NOT including" elment at

index=1

.

<div>A</div>  // index = 0
<div>B</div>  // index = 1
<div>C</div>

　　

Matched set is a set of elements matching selector. For example, in Example 1 matchted set is set of elements matching $("div") selector

<p>p-1</p>
<div id='someID'>div-1</div> //index = 0
<div class='someClass'>div-2</div> //index = 1
<div>div-3</div> //index = 2
<span>span-1</span>

　　

Example 2:

$("div").slice(1)

will first find all

<div>

then slice the mathced set into subset starting from element at

index=1

to the last element.

<div>A</div>  // index = 0
<div>B</div>  // index = 1
<div>C</div>  // index = 2

　　

Example 3:

$("div").slice(-2)

will first find all

<div>

then slice the mathced set into subset starting from element at

index=-2

"second element from the last" to the last element.

<div>A</div>  // index = 0 & index = -3 from last
<div>B</div>  // index = 1 & index = -2 from last
<div>C</div>  // index = 2 & index = -1 from last
