leetcode 27. Remove Element

题目

Given an array and a value, 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:

Given nums = [3,2,2,3], val = 3,
Your function should return length = 2, with the first two elements of nums being 2.

class Solution {
    public int removeElement(int[] nums, int val) {
        int i = 0;
        int j = 0;
        for (i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
            if (nums[i] == val) {
                continue;
            }
            nums[j] = nums[i];
            j++;
        }
        return j;
    }
}
