Hi Lloyd,

why not just use the built in functionality of arrays?

//----------------------
import std.stdio;

void main() {
    auto a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8];
    remove(a, 3);

    foreach (i; a) {
        write(i, " ");
    }
    writeln("");
}

void remove(T) (ref T[] myarray, int element) {
    auto front = myarray[0 .. (element -1)];
    auto back =  myarray[element .. $];
    myarray = front ~ back;
    // or simply: myarray = myarray[0 .. (element - 1)] ~ myarray[element ..
$];
}
//----------------------
