// create an array
var prime = [2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11]

// print updated prime array print(prime) // Output: [2,3,5,7,11]

remove() Syntax

The syntax of the array remove() method is:

array.remove(at: index)

Here, array is an object of the Array class.


remove() Parameters

The remove() method takes only one parameter:

  • index - index of the element to remove

remove() Return Value

  • returns the element that was removed from array

Example: Swift Array remove()

// languages array
var languages = ["Swift", "C", "Objective-C"]

print("Before Removing:", languages)

// "Objective-C" (at index 2) is removed var removed = languages.remove(at: 2)
print("After Removing:", languages) print("Removed Element:", removed)
