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

If the desired element to delete is in the middle (say we want to delete 'c', which its index is 1), you can use:

var arr = ['a','b','c'];
var indexToDelete = 1;
var newArray = arr.slice(0,indexToDelete).combine(arr.slice(indexToDelete+1, arr.length))
