Basically I want to remove the middle elements from an array and need a method for it because the middle will be different if it’s odd or even. I don’t really have a code for it so far, I don’t need anyone to code it out for me, you can also just explain how the method would work. I have the odd or even part, I would just use the remove part as sort of a method.

For example,

public class elementRemover{
   public static void main(String[] args){
      int[] array = {2, 2, 3};
         for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
           for(int j = i + 1; j < array.length; j++){
               if (array[i] == array[j]){
               array[j] = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
             } 
           }
       System.out.println(array[i]);
       }
   }
}

So now my output becomes

2

-2147483648

3

But how do I make it so Integer.MIN_VALUE arrays are print out blanks instead of a number, so it outputs this instead,

2

3

So guys i'm having trouble finding a solution for this question. I'm kinda frustrated that i didn't solve this kind of problem during my exam for employment.

Problem: The task is to provide an implementation for the given function. int[] removeElem(int[] array, value), the objective is to find if the array contains the given 'value' inside it. if found then remove the element from the array then return an array with a new size, else return original array.

So far this is what i got:

  public static void main(String[] args) {
  int[] myArray = {5,6,9,4};
  
  int[] newArray = removeElem(myArray,9);
  
  for(int i=0;i<newArray.length;i++){
      System.out.print(newArray[i] + " ");
  }

}

public static int[] removeElem(int[] array, int value){
    int[] tempArray = array;
    int newArrayLength = 0;
    int[] newArray;
    
    for(int index=0;index < tempArray.length; index++){
        if(tempArray[index] == value){
            tempArray[index] = -1;
            newArrayLength++;
        }
    }
    
    newArray = new int[tempArray.length - newArrayLength];
    for(int index=0;index < newArray.length; index++){
        if(tempArray[index] != -1){
            newArray[index] = tempArray[index];
        }
    }
    
    return newArray;
    
}

Unfortunately i can't get it right :/

Edit: Thank you! everyone for suggesting different solutions to this problem, I feel like I need to work more on my solutions and such :|.
