remove

The remove function in XQuery is used to eliminate an item from a sequence located at a specified position. This function helps in restructuring sequences by removing items without altering the rest.

Syntax

fn:remove(target, position)

The following table describes the argument for this command:

Argument	Required/Optional	Description
target	Required	The sequence from which an item will be removed.
position	Optional	The position of the item in the sequence that should be removed. If $pos is less than 1 or greater than the number of items in the sequence, the sequence remains unchanged.

Return Value

Returns a sequence that includes all the items except for the one at the specified position. If the position is out of range, it returns the original sequence.
