.remove()

In Dart, the .remove() method removes the specified key and its associated value from a map. If the key-value pair is removed, it returns the value associated with the removed key. Otherwise, it returns null and the map remains unchanged.

Syntax

map_name.remove(key)

• map_name: The name of the map to be checked.
• key: The entry key to be removed from the map.

Example

In the following example, the .remove() method is used to remove en entry with the key c from a map:

void main() {
  Map<String, int> myMap = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3};
  print('Original Map: $myMap');

  // Removing an entry with the key 'c' from the map
  myMap.remove('c');
  print('Map after removing the entry with the key "c": $myMap');
}

Here is the output for the above example:

Original Map: {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}
Map after removing the entry with the key "c": {a: 1, b: 2}
