unset() equivalent

[killboy]

Hi there.In PHP exists the unset() method; it frees a variable from memory.I want to know if there's any equivalent in JavaScript, so I can do something like:

<script type="text/javascript">function a(){   var k=new Array();   for (i=0;i<k.length;i++)  {	  //Some stuff here   }   unset(k);}

Thanks for the help

you set the value to null. this example creates an array of three items and prints them to the screen, then an error is generated after we set the array to null

<script type="text/javascript">   var k = ["item1","item2","item3"]   for (var i=0;i<k.length;i++)   {   	document.write(k[i] + "<br>")   }   k = null   for (var i=0;i<k.length;i++) <!-- this will cause an error because k is null -->   {   	document.write(k[i] + "<br>")    }</script>

If you want to delete an object or a property or array element then you can just use the delete operator.http://devguru.com/technologies/javascript/11526.asp
