Nth argument	snippet	javascript	function	mug-flower-book	2020-10-21T21:54:53+03:00

Creates a function that gets the argument at index n.

• Use Array.prototype.slice() to get the desired argument at index n.
• If n is negative, the nth argument from the end is returned.

const nthArg = n => (...args) => args.slice(n)[0];

const third = nthArg(2);
third(1, 2, 3); // 3
third(1, 2); // undefined
const last = nthArg(-1);
last(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // 5
