🔰 Basic Code Solution:

function slasher(arr, howMany) {
  // remove the head
  arr.splice(0, howMany);
  // return the remaining or the tail
  return arr;
}
slasher([1, 2, 3], 2);

🚀 Run Code

Code Explanation:

• This solution uses the splice() function.
• First argument, arr is the array to be modified.
• Second argument, howMany is the number of elements to be removed starting with arr[0].
• Modify the array with splice() and return it.

🌻 Intermediate Code Solution:

function slasher(arr, howMany) {

  // Return string after the amount chopped off.
  return arr.slice(howMany);

}

🚀 Run Code

Code Explanation:

• This solution uses the slice() function.
• The argument howMany is the number of elements to be removed starting with arr[0].
• Modify the array with slice() and return it.
