27 Remove Element
27. Remove Element
1. Question
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-placewith 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.
2. Implementation
public class Solution {
public int removeElement(int[] nums, int val) {
if (nums == null || nums.length == 0) {
return 0;
}
int index = 0;
for (int num : nums) {
if (num != val) {
nums[index++] = num;
}
}
return index;
}
}
3. Time & Space Complexity
时间复杂度O(n), 空间复杂度O(1)
