Removing an element from a one dimensional array

Posted by Dean on May 14, 2001 at 5:57 PM

I am having trouble removing an element from an array. I can search and find the position in the array, but when I delete the position using:

data[position] = null;

There will be an empty position in the array. How do you get rid of this empty position?

Do you have to create a new array with its size one less than the previous, or is there an easier way.

P.S My array does not contain objects, it contains Integers.

Thanks in advance

Dean
