Function splice

Removes characters from a String, and inserts new characters in their place.

Works like Array.prototype.splice

Example

Truncate to 3 characters

const truncateTo3 = splice(3);
const s = truncateTo3("abcde");
console.log(s); // 'abc'

Example

Delete the second character

const delete2ndChar = splice(1, 1);
const s = delete2ndChar("abc");
console.log(s); // 'ac'

Example

Replace last character with asterisk ("*")

const maskLastChar = splice(-1, 1, '*');
const s = maskLastChar("abc");
console.log(s); // 'ab*'

Returns

the spliced String
