Lets say I have this array,
int[] numbers = {1, 3, 4, 9, 2};
How can I delete an element by "name"? , lets say number 4?
Even ArrayList
didn't help to delete?
string strNumbers = " 1, 3, 4, 9, 2";
ArrayList numbers = new ArrayList(strNumbers.Split(new char[] { ',' }));
numbers.RemoveAt(numbers.IndexOf(4));
foreach (var n in numbers)
{
Response.Write(n);
}
Find the index of the array element you want to remove using indexOf , and then remove that index with splice . The splice() method changes the contents of an array by removing existing elements and/or adding new elements. The second parameter of splice is the number of elements to remove.
To remove an item from a given array by value, you need to get the index of that value by using the indexOf() function and then use the splice() function to remove the value from the array using its index.
To delete an element from the end in an array, we will just reduce the size of an array by one. After reducing the size we will print the array and will find that the last element is not printing. It means that the element is not in the array now.
If you want to remove all instances of 4 without needing to know the index:
LINQ: (.NET Framework 3.5)
int[] numbers = { 1, 3, 4, 9, 2 };
int numToRemove = 4;
numbers = numbers.Where(val => val != numToRemove).ToArray();
Non-LINQ: (.NET Framework 2.0)
static bool isNotFour(int n)
{
return n != 4;
}
int[] numbers = { 1, 3, 4, 9, 2 };
numbers = Array.FindAll(numbers, isNotFour).ToArray();
If you want to remove just the first instance:
LINQ: (.NET Framework 3.5)
int[] numbers = { 1, 3, 4, 9, 2, 4 };
int numToRemove = 4;
int numIndex = Array.IndexOf(numbers, numToRemove);
numbers = numbers.Where((val, idx) => idx != numIndex).ToArray();
Non-LINQ: (.NET Framework 2.0)
int[] numbers = { 1, 3, 4, 9, 2, 4 };
int numToRemove = 4;
int numIdx = Array.IndexOf(numbers, numToRemove);
List<int> tmp = new List<int>(numbers);
tmp.RemoveAt(numIdx);
numbers = tmp.ToArray();
Edit: Just in case you hadn't already figured it out, as Malfist pointed out, you need to be targetting the .NET Framework 3.5 in order for the LINQ code examples to work. If you're targetting 2.0 you need to reference the Non-LINQ examples.
