how to access array[3..last] (ruby)

Question

how can I access all array elements from x to the last one?

my_array= [1,2,3,4,5,6]
puts my_array[3..last]

Answer 1

An index of -1 gives the last item in the array:

my_array[3..-1]

In fact, any negative index begins counting backwards from the end of the array.

Thanks to Peter for reminding me of the better way to do this.

Answer 2

Use a negative index, as in my_array[3..-1].

my_array= [1,2,3,4,5,6]
puts my_array[3..-1]
=> [4, 5, 6]

Answer 3

also you can use range and inspect. like this

puts my_array[3..6].inspect
