:mrdocs:

Remove `numBits` bits beginning at `index`, shifting higher bits down.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bdlc_bitarray.h>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"]
----
void
remove(
    std::size_t index,
    std::size_t numBits);
----

== Description

Remove from this array the specified `numBits`, beginning at the specified `index`. All values at indices above `index` in this array are shifted down by `numBits` positions. The length of this array is reduced by `numBits`. The behavior is undefined unless `index + numBits <= length()`.

== Parameters
