    Default Re: Arrays: question about "removing" items.

    You're copying over values into the same indices between the two arrays, leaving blank spots in array.

    count = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
    {
         if (arr[i]!=x)
         {
              array[count] = arr[i];
              count++;
         }
    }
