remove

remove

> Functions

Removes the element at position position from the array array, and returns the removed element.

Parameters

• array: The array to remove an element from.
• position: The position of the element to remove.

Return

• element: The element removed from the array.

TypeScript

In JavaScript, a.splice(index, 1) does remove the element, but it returns an array of the removed elements, not the element itself: write a.splice(index, 1)[0] to get the behavior of remove. Out of bounds, it throws nothing and returns an empty array, so [0] is undefined. A negative index counts from the end.

Python

In Python, a.pop(index) removes the element and returns it, like remove; del a[index] removes it too but returns nothing. Both raise an IndexError out of bounds, and a negative index counts from the end. Not to be confused with a.remove(value), which removes the first occurrence of a value — that is removeElement in LeekScript — and raises a ValueError if it is missing.
