## Remove from a Set
 Remember to use **`Read-Search-Ask`** if you get stuck. Try to pair program  and write your own code 
###  Problem Explanation:
To solve this problem, you have to write a function for the class that removes a given element from the array if the array contains the given element.
##  Hint: 1
Use the built-in "has" function already created to test if the element exists in the Set.

##  Hint: 2
Use the splice function to delete an element from an array.

## Spoiler Alert!
**Solution ahead!**
##  Basic Code Solution:
this.remove = function(element){
if(this.has(element)) {
this.values().splice( this.values().indexOf(element), 1 );
}
}
 Run Code
### Code Explanation:
* The if statement checks if the collection contains the element.
* If the if statement evaluates to true, then starting from the index at which the element is located, one element is deleted.
* If the if statement evaluates to false, then nothing occurs.
