How to use splice() Method In Javascript

The splice() method removes items from an array, and returns the removed items.

Syntax:

var_name.splice(n);

Example: In this example, we will see the truncating of an array using Javascript`s array.splice method.

Javascript
const num = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
num.splice(4);
console.log(num);
