# Question 27. Remove Element
### Description:
Given an array nums and a value val, remove all instances of that value in-place and return the new length.

Do not allocate extra space for another array, you must do this by modifying the input array in-place with O(1) extra memory.

The order of elements can be changed. It doesn't matter what you leave beyond the new length.
### Solution:
```
```
### AC code
```cpp=
class Solution {
public:
    int removeElement(vector<int>& nums, int val) {
        int cnt = 0;
        for(int i = 0 ; i < nums.size() ; i++){
            if(nums[i] == val)
                cnt++;
            else
                nums[i-cnt] = nums[i];
        }
        return nums.size()-cnt;
    }
};
```
