    arrayDeleteElement
    Updated Aug 08

    arrayDeleteElement

    Syntax

    arrayDeleteElement(arrayName, elem)

    Package

    array

    Alias

    deleteElement(arrayName, elem)

    Pkg Usage

    deleteElement(arrayName, elem)

    Description

    If elem is an element of the array type, returns a new array without the specified element.

    Parameters

    Parameter name

    Type

    Required

    Description

    Parameter name

    Type

    Required

    Description

    arrayName

    Array

    Yes

    Array the new element is deleted from.

    elem

    Any

    Yes

    Element to be deleted. Must be the same type as the array type.

    Return Type

    Array

    Example

    watchers = deleteElement(watchers, currentUser());

    The result returned by the function is assigned to the the same array watchers, so the initial array watchers will be modified.

     

    1. If array is not defined as an array, the function returns error.

    2. If elem is not the same type as declared in the array definition, the function returns error.

     

    Starting with version 2.5, there is a more powerful way to express these operations: array = array - element; or even better array -= element;
