Describe the process of deleting an element from the beginning of an array.

To delete an element from the beginning of an array, we need to perform the following steps:

1. Check if the array is empty:
- If the array is empty, display an error message as there are no elements to delete.
- If the array is not empty, proceed to the next step.

2. Shift the elements:
- Starting from the second element (index 1), shift each element one position to the left.
- This can be done by assigning the value of the next element to the current element.
- Repeat this process until the last element of the array.

3. Update the size of the array:
- Decrement the size of the array by 1, as we have successfully deleted an element from the beginning.

4. Optional: Reallocate memory (if dynamically allocated):
- If the array was dynamically allocated, we may choose to reallocate memory to reduce the size of the array.
- This step is not necessary if the array is statically allocated.

5. Display the updated array (optional):
- If required, display the updated array to verify the deletion of the element.

It is important to note that deleting an element from the beginning of an array has a time complexity of O(n), where n is the number of elements in the array. This is because shifting the elements requires iterating through the array and updating each element's position.
