JavaScript: Check whether a string "Script" presents at 5th (index 4) position in a given string

JavaScript Basic: Exercise-30 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program to check whether a string "Script" appears at the 5th (index 4) position in a given string. If "Script" appears in the string, return the string without "Script" otherwise return the original one.

This JavaScript program checks if the substring "Script" appears at the 5th position (index 4) in a given string. If "Script" is found at the specified position, it returns the string with "Script" removed; otherwise, it returns the original string.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

// Define a function named check_script that takes a string parameter str
function check_script(str) {
  // Check if the length of the string is less than 6
  if (str.length < 6) {
    // If true, return the original string as it is
    return str;
  }

  // Initialize a variable result_str with the value of the input string
  let result_str = str;

  // Check if the substring from index 10 to index 4 (exclusive) is equal to 'Script'
  if (str.substring(10, 4) == 'Script') {
    // If true, update result_str to exclude the substring 'Script' from index 4 to the end
    result_str = str.substring(0, 4) + str.substring(10, str.length);
  }

  // Return the final result_str
  return result_str;
}

// Log the result of calling check_script with the argument "JavaScript" to the console
console.log(check_script("JavaScript"));

// Log the result of calling check_script with the argument "CoffeeScript" to the console
console.log(check_script("CoffeeScript")); 

Output:

Java
CoffeeScript

ES6 Version:

// Define a function named check_script that takes a string parameter str
const check_script = (str) => {
  // Check if the length of the string is less than 6
  if (str.length < 6) {
    // If true, return the original string as it is
    return str;
  }

  // Initialize a variable result_str with the value of the input string
  let result_str = str;

  // Check if the substring from index 10 to index 4 (exclusive) is equal to 'Script'
  if (str.substring(10, 4) == 'Script') {
    // If true, update result_str to exclude the substring 'Script' from index 4 to the end
    result_str = str.substring(0, 4) + str.substring(10, str.length);
  }

  // Return the final result_str
  return result_str;
};

// Log the result of calling check_script with the argument "JavaScript" to the console
console.log(check_script("JavaScript"));

// Log the result of calling check_script with the argument "CoffeeScript" to the console
console.log(check_script("CoffeeScript"));
