Step: Slice: .[1:3]

Slice: .[1:3]

.[start:end] returns a sub-array from start (inclusive) to end (exclusive). Omit an end to run to the boundary: .[:2] (first two), .[2:] (from index 2 on).

Slicing also works on strings: "hello"[0:2] => "he".

Your turn: take the middle two hobbies (indices 1 and 2).

Input:

{
  "firstName": "Charles",
  "lastName": "Doe",
  "hobbies": [
    "chess",
    "netflix",
    "fitness"
  ]
}

jq Expression

Expected:

]
