How do you remove the first 5 elements from a JavaScript array?

Removing the first five elements from a JavaScript array can be a challenging task, especially if you're new to coding.

Fortunately, there are several methods available that make this process easier and more efficient.

In this article, we'll discuss how you can use the splice() method in JavaScript to remove the first five elements from an array with example.

The splice() method is used for adding and removing items from arrays. To begin, let's take a look at our example.

<script>
  let myArr = ["one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six"];
</script>

We want to remove the first five items (one-five) and keep only "six" in our new Array. To do so we need two arguments; The starting index which will be 0 since we are removing elements at the start of our Array and then second argument would be number 5 as that’s how many values we wish delete/remove.

<script>
  let myArr = ["one", "two", "three", "four", "five", " six"];
  myArr.splice(0, 5);
  console.log(myArr); // output : six 
</script>
