Nice one! 👍🏻 You can also use array destructuring for something like this too.

const [, newCity] = city.split("/")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

☝ What he said. Although:

const newCity = city.split("/")[1]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

is slightly shorter, and arguably more readable.

I agree. Although my aim here was to try out slice() on strings.
