Sample Solution:

Python Code:

from array import *
array_num = array('i', [1, 3, 5, 3, 7, 1, 9, 3])
print("Original array: "+str(array_num))
print("Remove the first occurrence of 3 from the said array:")
array_num.remove(3)
print("New array: "+str(array_num))

Sample Output:

Original array: array('i', [1, 3, 5, 3, 7, 1, 9, 3])                   
Remove the first occurrence of 3 from the said array:                  
New array: array('i', [1, 5, 3, 7, 1, 9, 3])
