Filter range "in place"
importance: 4
Write a function filterRangeInPlace(arr, a, b)
that gets an array arr
and removes from it all values except those that are between a
and b
. The test is: a ≤ arr[i] ≤ b
.
The function should only modify the array. It should not return anything.
For instance:
let arr = [5, 3, 8, 1];
filterRangeInPlace(arr, 1, 4); // removed the numbers except from 1 to 4
alert( arr ); // [3, 1]
function filterRangeInPlace(arr, a, b) {
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
let val = arr[i];
// remove if outside of the interval
if (val < a || val > b) {
arr.splice(i, 1);
i--;
}
}
}
let arr = [5, 3, 8, 1];
filterRangeInPlace(arr, 1, 4); // removed the numbers except from 1 to 4
alert( arr ); // [3, 1]
