# Delete operator in arrays in JavaScript

You can delete array elements using the `delete` operator. Let's look at examples. Let's say we have an array like this:

`let arr = ['a', 'b', 'c'];`

Let's delete one of the elements of our array:

`delete arr[1];`

As a result, the element will be deleted, but the array will become sparse:

`console.log(arr); // shows ['a',, 'c']`

Given an array:

`let arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'];`

Delete two elements from it. Check the value of the property `length` after that.
