How to remove specific value from array using jQuery

I have an array that looks like this: var y = [1, 2, 3];

I would like to remove 2 from array y.

How can I remove a particular value from an array using jQuery? I have tried pop() but that always removes the last element.

A working JSFIDDLE

You can do something like this:

var y = [1, 2, 2, 3, 2]
var removeItem = 2;

y = jQuery.grep(y, function(value) {
  return value != removeItem;
});

Result:

[1, 3]

With jQuery, you can do a single-line operation like this:

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/HWKQY/

y.splice( $.inArray(removeItem, y), 1 );

Uses the native .splice() and jQuery's $.inArray().

jQuery.filter method is useful. This is available for Array objects.

var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5];

var result = arr.filter(function(elem){
   return elem != 5; 
});//result -> [1,2,3,4]

In Ecmascript 6:

let values = [1,2,3,4,5];
let evens = values.filter(v => v % 2 == 0);
alert(evens);
