# remove(_:in:)

Removes all occurrences within a specified range in the array of a given object.

## Declaration

```swift
func remove(_ anObject: Any, in range: NSRange)
```

## Parameters

- `anObject`: The object to be removed from the array’s content.
- `range`: The range from which to remove anObject. important: Raises an exception NSRangeException if aRange exceeds the bounds of the array.

## Discussion

Discussion Matches are determined by comparing anObject to the objects in the receiver using the isEqual: method. If the array does not contain anObject within aRange, the method has no effect (although it does incur the overhead of searching the contents).
