Splice works with index
I need to delete a random element each time

Splice modifies the array indeces
Or at least the length property

Mmm
Like say
I have three elementsi n an array
"yahoo", "msn", "google"
But their locations could be random
Msn could be first, yahoo could be 2nd and so on
Now how will i delete "msn"

Using a temp array?

For (i=0; i<arr.length; i++) { if (arr[i] == 'msn') break; } delete arr[i]; (assuming that you know msn is in the array somewhere)
