It's only a "typo" if you're expecting the current value of x, but that output is the return value of x.splice( 1, 2 )

Am I misunderstand?

The correct result is: [ 1, 2, 3 ].splice(1, 2) = [ 1 ]

But the document means: [ 1, 2, 3 ].splice(1, 2) = [ 2, 3 ] ,which is wrong.

Thanks for the fiddle, but you're missing the point of what I said. You're expecting to see the current state of "x", but the documentation is showing the _return_ _value_ of splice. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/splice

Ok ok, I've understand at, finally :P

But I'd wish the document to point out it, to reduce different meanings :)
