You can use splice as: array.splice(start_index, no_of_elements_to_remove). Here's the solution to your example:

const fruits = ["mango","apple","pine","berry"]; const removed = fruits.splice(2, 1); // Mutates fruits and returns array of removed items console.log('fruits', fruits); // ["mango","apple","berry"] console.log('removed', removed); // ["pine"]

This will remove one element from index 2, i.e. after the operation fruits=["mango","apple","berry"];

No idea why slice(i,j) in nodejs is get sub array from index i to j-1, and NOT remove at index i with j items!?
