The split() method is used to split a string
into an array of substrings based on a specified
separator.
It takes two arguments:
-
separator: This specifies the character that is used
to determine where the string should be split.
This is an optional argument.
-
limit: This specifies the maximum number of splits
that can be performed. This is also an optional argument.
If the limit is not specified or is 0, the entire string will be split.
In the above example, to split the sentenceinto individual
words we used the space character as the separator and with
no specified limit value.
In the example given above, fruits.split(",") splits the fruits
string into an array of substrings using the comma character as the
separator and the limit is set to 3. Thus, resulting in an array
consisting of first three fruits.
In the above example, without any separator the split() method will
not split the sentence into individual words. Thus, the entire sentence
becomes a single element of the resulting array.
