split a string into an array of words in typescript

To split a string into an array of words in TypeScript, you can use the split() method of the String object.

index.ts
const sentence = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
const words = sentence.split(" ");
console.log(words); // ["The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy", "dog"]
194 chars
4 lines

Here, we first define a string sentence that contains a sentence with multiple words separated by spaces. Then we use the split() method to split this string into an array of words. The split() method takes a delimiter string as its argument, which is used to split the original string into smaller strings wherever the delimiter occurs. In this case, we pass a space character as the delimiter string, so the original string is split into an array of words wherever there is a space character.

Finally, we log the resulting array of words to the console. This will output an array of strings, where each string in the array represents a single word from the original sentence.
