Usually the record that needs to be deleted is swaped with the last record in the array, and then cut via reducing array's size by one. |

Your best bet if you need to do something like this is to use not an array at all, but rather one of Java's Collection classes. Perhaps ArrayList. |

yeah theres the ArrayList class and also the LinkedList class... they're quite similar but it depends on what you're doing if you want the better choice for you. |
