split method in JavaScript | Code

  • by

JavaScript split() method is used to splits a String object into an array of strings by separating the string into substrings. This method takes a pattern and divides a String into an ordered list of substrings by searching for the pattern, puts these substrings into an array, and returns the array.

string.split(separator, limit)
split()
split(separator)

Note: This method does not change the original string and If (” “) is used as a separator, the string is split between words.
