Use JavaScript Array's built in splice method:

array.splice(index, 1);

The second parameter is the number of elements to remove, so 1 = "just this one".

"c" may be at any place.So First I need to get the index of c ? – Pallavi Sharma May 23 '14 at 00:55
Then use `indexOf()` method along with this one. – Spencer Wieczorek May 23 '14 at 00:57
