Definition and Usage

The pop() method is used to remove and return the last element of an array.

arrayObject.pop()

Note: This method changes the length of the array.
Tip: To remove and return the first element of an array, use the shift() method.

In this example we will create an array, and then remove the last element of the array. Note that this will also change the length of the array:

<script type="text/javascript">

var arr = new Array(3);
arr[0] = "Jani";
arr[1] = "Hege";
arr[2] = "Stale";

document.write(arr + "<br />");
document.write(arr.pop() + "<br />");
document.write(arr);

</script>

The output of the code above will be:

Jani,Hege,Stale
Stale
Jani,Hege
