How to remove a specific value from an array in JavaScript?

Question

Suppose, i have an array

const anArray = ['value 1', 'value 2', 'value 3', 'value 4', 'value 5'];

If i want to remove the value 3 from anArray but don't know the position of that value in the array, how can i remove that?

Note: I'm a beginner in JavaScript

Answer 1

Use indexOf to get the index, and splice to delete:

const anArray = ['value 1', 'value 2', 'value 3', 'value 4', 'value 5'];
anArray.splice(anArray.indexOf("value 3"), 1);
console.log(anArray);

.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: auto; }
