splice() method changes the content of an array, adding new elements while removing old elements.
Syntax
array.splice(index, howMany, [element1][, ..., elementN]);
Parameter Details
- index − Index at which to start changing the array.
- howMany − An integer indicating the number of old array elements to remove. If howMany is 0, no elements are removed.
- element1, …, elementN − The elements to add to the array. If you don’t specify any elements, splice simply removes the elements from the array.
Return Value

Example
var arr = ["orange", "mango", "banana", "sugar", "tea"];
var removed = arr.splice(2, 0, "water");
console.log("After adding 1: " + arr );
console.log("removed is: " + removed);
removed = arr.splice(3, 1);
console.log("After removing 1: " + arr );
console.log("removed is: " + removed);
