remove some last characters

Question

so I added a prompt('Enter something);. then for example I entered 'Hello world!' then I want this to have only 5 characters. So it will return 'Hello'. if I entered 'something', it will return 'somet'. how do I do that in JavaScript?

apologies if there's another question like this.

You could use .slice

const input = prompt('Enter something');

alert(input.slice(0, 5))
