Javascript slice

Question

I want to ask my ignorance about javascript I gave a little description, hopefully I can understand what I mean

example:

var a = `hello everyone`
var b = a.slice (6)
console.log (b)

output = everyone

how can I change the slice from the back like this:

var a = `hello everyone`
var b = a.slice (3)
console.log (b)

output = one

@esqew are you sure it's a dupe? The title seems *very* different from the body of this question. OP seems to want the last few characters. The question you linked to is about *removing* the last few characters. The answers there show either how to take characters *from the beginning* or otherwise just removing from the end (not even via `.slice()` exclusively). — VLAZ, May 08 '21 at 19:39

try this:

var a = "hello everyone"
var b = a.slice(a.length-3)
console.log(b)
