It normally takes two argument: start and length. It can also take one argument: start, i.e. length is omitted, in which case the substring starting from start until the end of the string will be returned.

To extract characters from the end of the string, use a negative start number.

If length is given and is negative, that number of characters will be omitted from the end of string.
