JavaScript: Create a string using the middle three characters of a given string of odd length
JavaScript Basic: Exercise-63 with Solution
Write a JavaScript program to create a string using the middle three characters of a given string of odd length. The string length must be greater than or equal to three.
This JavaScript program extracts and creates a new string consisting of the middle three characters from an input string of odd length, ensuring the input string length is at least three.
Visual Presentation:
Sample Solution:
JavaScript Code:
// Define a function named middle_three with parameter str
function middle_three(str) {
// Check if the length of str is odd
if (str.length % 2 !== 0) {
// Calculate the middle index for odd-length strings
mid = (str.length + 1) / 2;
// Use slice to get the middle three characters and return
return str.slice(mid - 2, mid + 1);
}
// Return str if its length is not odd
return str;
}
// Call the function with sample arguments and log the results to the console
console.log(middle_three('abcdefg'));
console.log(middle_three('HTML5'));
console.log(middle_three('Python'));
console.log(middle_three('PHP'));
console.log(middle_three('Exercises'));
Output:
cde TML Python PHP rci

Flowchart:
ES6 Version:
// Define a function named middle_three with parameter str
const middle_three = (str) => {
// Check if the length of str is odd
if (str.length % 2 !== 0) {
// Calculate the middle index
const mid = (str.length + 1) / 2;
// Use slice to get the middle three characters and return the result
return str.slice(mid - 2, mid + 1);
}
// Return str if its length is not odd
return str;
};
// Call the function with sample arguments and log the results to the console
console.log(middle_three('abcdefg'));
console.log(middle_three('HTML5'));
console.log(middle_three('Python'));
console.log(middle_three('PHP'));
console.log(middle_three('Exercises'));
