This simple function simply removes the character at the given index from a string.

NOTE: The count starts from 0

String.prototype.removeCharAt = function(ind){

var string_one = this.slice(0, ind);

var string_two = this.slice(ind + 1, this.length);

var final_string = string_one.concat(string_two);

return final_string;

}

var string = "This is a statement";

var cutoff = string.removeCharAt(2);  // returns "Tis is a statement"

var cutoff_2 = string.removeCharAt(5); // returns "This i a statement"
