In this article, we will learn how to find all elements in a given array except for the first one.

Method 1:  JavaScript for loop

In this method, we will use a for loop to grab all the elements except the first. We know that in an array the first element is present at index ‘0’. We will run a loop from 1 to array.length and save those remaining elements to another array.

Example: In this example, we will be using for loop to find all elements in an array except for the first element.

Javascript




<script>
    //Javascript program to find all
    //element of an array except first
     
    //function which takes an array as argument
    const print = (arr) => {
     
        //creating a dummy array to store result
        const find = []
     
        //a counter for adding result
        let k = 0
     
        for (let i = 1; i < arr.length; i++) {
            find[k] = arr[i]
            k++
        }
        //returning resultant array
        return find
    }
     
    //input array
    const arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
     
    //printing the result
    console.log(print(arr))
</script>

Output:

[ 2, 3, 4, 5 ]

Method 2: JavaScript slice() Method

The slice() is a method that returns a slice of an array. It takes two arguments, the start and end index.

Example: In this example, we will be using the slice() method to find all elements in an array except for the first element.

Javascript




<script>
    //Javascript program to find all
    //element of array except first
     
    //function which takes an array as argument
    const print = (arr) => {
     
        //returning resultant array
        return arr.slice(1)
    }
     
    //input array
    const arr = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
    //printing the result
    console.log(print(arr))
</script>

Output :

[20, 30, 40, 50]

Method#3: Using Array.filter method : 

The Array.filter() method is used to create a new array with elements from the existing array which satisfies the condition.

Example: In this example, we will be using the filter() method to find all elements in an array except for the first element.

Javascript




<script>
    //Javascript program to find all
    //element of array except first
     
    //function which takes an array as argument
    const print = (arr) => {
     
        //returning resultant array
        return arr.filter((x, y) => y != 0)
    }
     
    //input array
    const arr = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
    //printing the result
    console.log(print(arr))
</script>

Output:

[20, 30, 40, 50]

Example#4: JavaScript Array.reduce() Method 

The Array.reduce() is used to perform the function on each element of an array and form a single element. 

Example: In this example, we will be using the reduce() method to find all elements in an array except for the first element.

Javascript




<script>
    //Javascript program to find all
    //element of array except first
     
    //function which takes an array as argument
    const print = (arr) => {
     
        //returning resultant array
        return arr.reduce((a, x, i) => (i == 0) ? a: a.concat(x),[] )
    }
     
    //input array
    const arr = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
    //printing the result
    console.log(print(arr))
</script>

Output:

[ 20, 30, 40, 50 ]
