This removeRange() method of List removes a range of elements from the list.

✐ Examples

1 Remove elements from index 1 to 2 from the list of numbers

In this example,

  1. We create a list named numbers containing the integers [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
  2. We then use the removeRange() method to remove elements from index 1 (value 2) to index 3 (value 3) from the list.
  3. As a result, the list becomes [1, 4, 5].
  4. We print the modified list to standard output.

Dart Program

void main() {
  List<int> numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
  numbers.removeRange(1, 3); // Output: [1, 4, 5]
  print(numbers);
}

Output

[1, 4, 5]

2 Remove elements from index 0 to 1 from the list of characters

In this example,

  1. We create a list named characters containing the characters ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'].
  2. We then use the removeRange() method to remove elements from index 0 (value 'a') to index 2 (value 'c') from the list.
  3. As a result, the list becomes ['c', 'd'].
  4. We print the modified list to standard output.

Dart Program

void main() {
  List<String> characters = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
  characters.removeRange(0, 2); // Output: ['c', 'd']
  print(characters);
}

Output

[c, d]

3 Remove elements from index 1 to 3 from the list of words

In this example,

  1. We create a list named words containing the strings ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date'].
  2. We then use the removeRange() method to remove elements from index 1 (value 'banana') to index 4 (value 'date') from the list.
  3. As a result, the list becomes ['apple'].
  4. We print the modified list to standard output.

Dart Program

void main() {
  List<String> words = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date'];
  words.removeRange(1, 4); // Output: ['apple']
  print(words);
}

Output

[apple]
