Javascript slice [duplicate]

Question

I want to ask my ignorance about javascript I gave a little description, hopefully I can understand what I mean

example:

var a = `hello everyone`
var b = a.slice (6)
console.log (b)

output = everyone

how can I change the slice from the back like this:

var a = `hello everyone`
var b = a.slice (3)
console.log (b)

output = one

@esqew are you sure it's a dupe? The title seems very different from the body of this question. OP seems to want the last few characters. The question you linked to is about removing the last few characters. The answers there show either how to take characters from the beginning or otherwise just removing from the end (not even via .slice() exclusively). — VLAZ

try this:

var a = "hello everyone"
var b = a.slice(a.length-3)
console.log(b)
