Remove an element from a list by index

Given the list [Apple, Banana, Carrot], remove the first element to produce the list [Banana, Carrot]
ruby
['Apple', 'Banana', 'Carrot'].shift
fruit.delete_at(0)
cpp
fruit->RemoveAt(0);
fantom
list := ["Apple", "Banana", "Carrot"]
list.removeAt(0)
clojure
(let [fruit ["Apple" "Banana" "Carrot"]
index 0]
(concat
(take index fruit)
(drop (+ index 1) fruit)))

Remove the last element of a list

ruby
list = ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Carrot']
list.delete_at(-1)
list = ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Carrot']
list.pop
cpp
fruit->RemoveAt(fruit->Count - 1);
fantom
list := ["Apple", "Banana", "Carrot"]
list.removeAt(-1)
list := ["Apple", "Banana", "Carrot"]ยจ
list.pop
clojure
(pop ["Apple" "Banana" "Carrot"])

Rotate a list

Given a list ["apple", "orange", "grapes", "bananas"], rotate it by removing the first item and placing it on the end to yield ["orange", "grapes", "bananas", "apple"]
ruby
items = ["apple", "orange", "grapes", "bananas"]
items << first = items.shift

# items is rotated
# first contains the first value in the list
cpp
fruit->Add(fruit[0]); fruit->RemoveAt(0);
rotate(fruit.begin(), fruit.begin()+1, fruit.end());
fantom
list := ["apple", "orange", "grapes", "bananas"]
list.add(list.removeAt(0))
clojure
(let [fruit ["apple" "orange" "grapes" "bananas"]]
(concat (rest fruit) [(first fruit)])
