value1, ...valuen

An optional list of one or more values to be added to array at index

startIndex after the specified elements have been deleted. If this list is

omitted, no elements are added.

Returns

A new array containing the deleted elements (the original array is modified separately to

reflect the requested changes).

Description

The splice() method removes the elements from array[startIndex] to array[startIndex +

deleteCount –1]

and then, optionally, inserts new elements starting at startIndex. The

splice( ) method does not leaves gaps in

array; it compacts deleted elements and moves

remaining elements as needed to ensure the contiguity of elements in the array.

Example

myList = new Array (1, 2, 3, 4, 5);

// Deletes the second and third elements from the list

// and inserts the elements "x", "y", and "z" in their place.

// This changes myList to [1, "x", "y", "z", 4, 5].

myList.splice(1, 2, "x", "y", "z");
