Remove last 2 characters from string using JavaScript

Today I'm going to show you how to remove the last two characters from a string using JavaScript.

The first step is to create a variable that holds our string. The example is given below.

<script>
  let myString = "This is a sample string";
</script>

Next, we can use the slice() method in order to extract part of our string and assign it into a new variable.

<script>
  let myString = "This is a sample string";
  let newString = myString.slice(0,-2);// Removes last 2 characters
  console.log(newString)
</script>
