//removing element using splice method -- 
//arr.splice(index of the item to be removed, number of elements to be removed)
//Here lets remove Sunday -- index 0 and Monday -- index 1

Example 5: how to delete an element of an array in javascript

//you can use two functions depending of what you want to do:

let animals1 = ["dog", "cat", "mouse"]
delete animals1[1]
/*this deletes all the information inside "cat" but the element still exists
so now you'll have this:*/
console.log(animals1)//animals1 = ["dog", undefined, "mouse"]

//if you want to delete it completely, you have to use array.splice:

let animals2 = ["dog", "cat", "mouse"]
animals2.splice(1, 1)
/*the first number means the position from which you want to start to delete
and the second is how much elements will be deleted*/
console.log(animals2)//animals2 = ["dog", "mouse"]
/*Now you don't have undefined
If you did this:*/
let animals3 = ["dog", "cat", "mouse"]
animals3.splice(0, 2)//you'll have this:
console.log(animals3)//animals 3 = "mouse"
/*This happens because I put a 2 in the second parameter so it deleted
two elements from position 0
Try copying this code in your console and whatch*/

Example 6: remove from array javascript

let numbers = [1,2,3,4]

// to remove last element
let last_num = numbers.pop();
// numbers will now be [1,2,3]

// to remove first element
let first_num = numbers.shift();
//numbers will now be [2,3]

// to remove at an index
let number_index = 1
let index_num = numbers.splice(number_index,1); //removes 1 element at index 1
//numbers will now be [2]

//these methods will modify the numbers array and return the removed element
