.slice() misses "end" selection

Description

hi,

the slice function DOES NOT include the "end" argument, which is really stupid.

See attached screenshots:

  • 3,4 only selects ONE div
  • 4,6 misses the sixth div (count from zero)

I doubt that this is the wanted behaviour - anyway if it is NOT a bug, than please change the documentation saying the last "end" element is not included in the selection.

jQuery.fn.slice works exactly as Array.prototype.slice (the latter is actually used).

docs.jquery.com is down now, I'll check how is it documented, later.

copied from your link:

"

end

Zero-based index at which to end extraction. slice extracts up to but not including end.

slice(1,4) extracts the second element through the fourth element (elements indexed 1, 2, and 3).

I know, it does skip the last as that page says. That's how it works.
