The `split()` function has an optional parameter called `separator`. The `separator` can be a simple string or it can be a regular expression.

The split function returns an array that contains all the subparts as ordered array items.

Example 1: Splitting the string based on the single space

var str = 'Clue Mediator'
var subparts = str.split(" ");

console.log(subparts);
// Output: ["Clue", "Mediator"]

Example 2: Splitting the string based on the `-`

var str = '16-11-2021'
var subparts = str.split("-");

console.log(subparts);
// Output: ["16", "11", "2021"]

Example 3: Split a string with multiple separators

var str = 'Hello awesome, world!'
var subparts = str.split(/[\s,]+/);

console.log(subparts);
// Output: ["Hello", "awesome", "world"]

That’s it for today.
