Deleting array elements in JavaScript - delete vs splice

Question

What is the difference between using the delete operator on the array element as opposed to using the Array.splice method?

For example:

myArray = [\         


        

Answer 1

It's probably also worth mentioning that splice only works on arrays. (Object properties can't be relied on to follow a consistent order.)

To remove the key-value pair from an object, delete is actually what you want:

delete myObj.propName;     // , or:
delete myObj["propName"];  // Equivalent.
