Delete

Delete[expr, n] deletes the element at position n in expr. If n is negative, the position is counted from the end.

Delete[expr, i, j, ... ] deletes the part at position i, j, ... .

Delete[expr, , , ... , , , ... , ... ] deletes parts at several positions.

Example: Delete[a, b, c, d, 3] .

Delete[a, b, c, d, 1, 3] .

Deleting the head of a particular element in an expression is equivalent to applying FlattenAt to the expression at that point.

Example: Delete[a, b, c, 2, 0] .

Deleting the head of a whole expression makes the head be Sequence.

Example: Delete[a, b, 0] .
