LeetCode Problem : Remove Element

Problem

Given an array and a value, remove all instances of that value in place and return the new length.

The order of elements can be changed. It doesn't matter what you leave beyond the new length.

Code

int removeElement(int A[], int n, int elem) {
    // Note: The Solution object is instantiated only once and is reused by each test case.
    int j = 0;
    for(;j < n; ++j){
        if(A[j] == elem)
            break;
    }
    for(int i = j + 1;i < n;++i){
        if(A[i] != elem){
            A[j] = A[i];
            ++j;
        }
    }
    return j;
}
