Syntax
delete objectName.property
delete objectName[index]
delete property Arguments
objectName | An object from which to delete the specified property or value. |
property | The property to delete. |
index | An integer index into an array. |
Description
If the delete
operator succeeds, it sets the property of element to undefined
; the operator always returns undefined
.
You can only use the delete
operator to delete object properties and array entries. You cannot use this operator to delete objects or variables. Consequently, you can only use the third form within a with
statement, to delete a property from the object.
