How can i remove a value from an array?

[Meta]

i have a program with several methods. it inserts about 10 elements.

i find the maxvalue with this method

public long getMax()
	{
		if (nElems != 0)
		{
			long maxValue = a[0];
			for (int index = 1; index < a.length; index++)
			{
				if (a[index] > maxValue)
				{
					maxValue = a[index];
				}
			}
			return maxValue;
		}
		else
		{
			return -1;
		}
   	}

with this call

 maxValue = arr.getMax();
      System.out.println("The highest value in the array is " + maxValue);

i need to make a remove method that takes that maxvalue and removes it. but i cant figure out how to do it.

Traverse the array again and when it finds the highest value set it to zero?

public void removeMax()
{
	for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++)
	{
		if (a[i] == maxValue)
			a[i] = 0;
	}
}

Is that what you want?

idk. it doesnt work because it cant find maxValue. and when i try to fiddle around i keep getting missing identifier.

if you store your values in an collection of type list then this class offers a remove(index) method.
