Help with updating array within function

For my homework I have to write a function to update an array after they don't get enough votes, but I'm not sure how to update the array from [N × c] to [N × c − 1].

function votes = removeCandidate(votes,losingCandidate)
  [votes,I] = max(votes1);
  nv = length(votes1);
  if v1/nv > 0.5
    losingCandidate = 1;
  end
end

One can either remove elements (full row or column if 2D) by assigning the [] (empty) array to the selected array subscripts or alternatively save all rows(/columns) except the unwanted row(s)/column(s).

The actual definition of what your function is to do and return so can't comment much about that part...

You may refer to this following documentation:

Removing Rows or Columns from a Matrix

% a is array
a(end,:)=[] % delete last row
a(:,end)=[] %delete last column

Since in your example aray dimwnesion is change from NXC to NXC-1 you need to delete a column in the array
