The implementation of Array as an object with restricted keys has the peculiar effect in that eliminating an element (as in delete a[1]) does not shrink the overall length of the collection; instead it creates a “hole”: an undefined entry without a key. The treatment of holes by various JavaScript facilities is inconsistent.3 The proper way to remove an element from an array without leaving holes is to use the splice() function. (The delete operator is intended to remove elements from objects.)
