JavaScript Program to Remove Specific Item From an Array

How to Remove Specific Element From An Array

In this example, you will learn to write a JavaScript program that will remove a specific element from an array.

Example 1 : Using For Loop Remove Element From Array

function removeElementFromArray(array, n) {

    const newArray = [];

    for ( let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
        if(array[i] !== n) {
            newArray.push(array[i]);
        }
    }
    return newArray;
}

const elements = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const result = removeElementFromArray(elements, 4);

console.log(result);

Output

[1,2,3,5]

In the above program, an element 4 is removed from an array using a for loop.

Example 2 : Using Array.splice() Remove Element From Array

const elements = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

//remove element 3

const result = elements.splice(2,1);

console.log(elements);

Output

[1, 2, 4, 5]

In the above program, an element 3 is removed from an array using a splice() method.
