229. Remove Element

Easy
In-place Compaction
Array

Problem

Given an integer array nums and an integer val, remove every occurrence of val conceptually in-place and return the remaining values while preserving their original relative order.

Examples

Example 1

Input: [3,2,2,3], 3
Output: [2,2]

Example 2

Input: [0,1,2,2,3,0,4,2], 2
Output: [0,1,3,0,4]

Example 3

Input: [1], 1
Output: []
Constraints

0 <= nums.length <= 100

0 <= nums[i] <= 50

0 <= val <= 100

Hints

?? Keep a write pointer for values that should remain.

?? Copy each value not equal to val into the next write position.

Expected Complexity
Time: O(n)
Space: O(1)
Follow-up

Can you perform the compaction with O(1) auxiliary space?
