Removing Negatives from Array in JavaScript
Given an array arr of multiple values. For example −
[-3,5,1,3,2,10]
We are required to write a function that removes any negative values in the array. Once the
function finishes its execution the array should be composed of just positive numbers.
We are required to do this without creating a temporary array and only using pop method to
remove any values in the array.
Therefore, let’s write the code for this function −
Example
The code for this will be −
// strip all negatives off the end
while (x.length && x[x.length - 1] < 0) {
x.pop();
}
for (var i = x.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
if (x[i] < 0) {
// replace this element with the last element (guaranteed to be
positive)
x[i] = x[x.length - 1];
x.pop();
}
}Output
The output in the console will be −
[ 1, 8, 9 ]
