2 let partialMessage = message. substring{2, 6);
3
4 console. log (partialMessage);
5 // Output: "love''
6. splitO
The split() method divides a string into an
array of substrings based on a specified
delimiter.

from both the beginning and end of a string.
In this example, it trims the extra spaces
before and after the text "Hello, world!".
1 let input = " Hello, world!
2 let trimmedlnput = input. trim ();
3
4 console. log (trimmedlnput);
5 /1 Out~)ut: "He11oJ v,;0 1'lci!"
