Removing a value from the hash table

The last method we will implement for the HashTable is the remove method, which is as follows:

remove(key) {  const hash = this.hashCode(key); // {1}  const valuePair = this.table[hash]; // {2}  if (valuePair != null) {     delete this.table[hash]; // {3}    return true;  }  return false;} 

To remove a value from the HashTable, first, we need to know what position we need to access, so we retrieve the hash using the hashCode function ({1}). We retrieve the valuePair stored in the hash position ({2}) and in case the valuePair is not null or undefined, we remove it using the JavaScript delete operator ({3}). We also return true if the removal was successful and false otherwise.

Instead of using the delete JavaScript ...
