Arguments
| Parameter Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| self | list, map, or string | object to remove something from |
| k | number or string | index or substring to remove |
Usage Notes
Exact behavior of remove depends on the data type of self:
list: removes one element by its index; the list is mutated in place; returns null, and throws an error if the given index out of range.
map: removes one key/value pair by key; the map is mutated in place; returns 1 if key was found, 0 otherwise.
string: returns a new string with the first occurrence of k removed.
May be called with function syntax or dot syntax.
Example
a=["a","b","c"]; a.remove 1 // leaves a == ["a", "c"]
d={"ichi":"one"}; d.remove "ni" // returns 0
"Spam".remove("S") // returns "pam"
