Given an array nums and a value val, remove all instances of that value in-place and return the new length.
Do not allocate extra space for another array, you must do this by modifying the input array in-place with O(1) extra memory.
The order of elements can be changed. It doesn't matter what you leave beyond the new length.
Example 1:
Given nums = [3,2,2,3], val = 3, Your function should return length = 2, with the first two elements of nums being 2. It doesn't matter what you leave beyond the returned length.
Code:
public int removeElement(int[] nums, int val) {
if (nums == null || nums.length == 0) {
return 0;
}
int j = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
if (nums[i] != val) {
nums[j++] = nums[i];
}
}
return j;
}
