del statement

The del statement provides an alternate to the delete() function for deleting a location from a dynamic array.

Syntax

del dyn.array< ac.exp{,vc.exp...{,sc.exp}}>

Parameter(s)

dyn.array Dynamic array from which the specified attribute, value, or subvalue will be deleted.
ac.exp Attribute to delete.
vc.exp Value to delete.
sc.exp Subvalue to delete.

Example(s)
