Algorithm for Deletion in Array

It is a process of deleting a particular element from an array. If an element to be deleted ith location then all elements from the (i+1)th location we have to be shifted one step towards left.
So (i+1)th element is copied to ith location and (i+2)th to (i+1)th location and so on.

Algorithm: In this algorithm a value is being deleted from ith location of an array Reg[N]. Let us assume that last element in the array is at Mth position.
Steps
1. Back=1
2. While (Back<M) repeat 3 and 4
3. Reg[Back]= Reg[Back+1]
4. Back= Back+1
5. M=M-1
6. End

Steps
1. Back=i => Back=5
2. While(Back<M) repeat step 3 to 4
=> 5<8 true
3. Reg[Back]=Reg[Back+1]
Reg[5]=>Reg[6]=> reg[5]=20
4. Back=Back+1
Now Back =6
again step 3.
Reg[6]=Reg[6=1]
= 28
step 4: Back=Back+1 =>7
again step 3 until Back<M
5. M=M-1
=8-1=>7
6. End.
