How to remove an element from an array in Swift

by

The let keyword is for declaring constants that can’t be changed. If you want to modify a variable you should use var instead, e.g:

var animals = ["cats", "dogs", "chimps", "moose"]

animals.remove(at: 2)  //["cats", "dogs", "moose"]

A non-mutating alternative that will keep the original collection unchanged is to use filter to create a new collection without the elements you want removed, e.g:

let pets = animals.filter { $0 != "chimps" }
