remove an index from an array js code example

Example 1: remove item from array javascript

const array = [2, 5, 9];

console.log(array);

const index = array.indexOf(5);
if (index > -1) {
  array.splice(index, 1);
}

// array = [2, 9]
console.log(array);

Example 2: splice from array javascript to remove

let myFish = ['angel', 'clown', 'drum', 'mandarin', 'sturgeon']
