Slice and Combine
by Anonymous · ⭐ 1 · 🍴 0
✂️ Letters have index numbers starting from 0! Spread out COLLABBY as tiles and pick start and end numbers to slice text. See dotted lines where the end index lands to instantly understand why that letter is excluded. ➕ In combining, learn when + means math addition and when it joins text! 3 + 4 is 7, but add a ⭐ in front and it becomes 34. Add parentheses, and it becomes 7 again. 🧼 In tidying, see invisible spaces as ␣ while practicing trim, uppercase, lowercase, and slicing. Notice how the original box stays unchanged no matter how much you edit! Made with code · Remix it to play with your own text!
About this app
