Algorithms Friday Week 2 Solution

algoFridaysWeek2.js
// Given an array nums, and a value val, write a function to remove
// all instances of val from the array and return the new length
const removeValInstances = (arr, val) => {
if(!arr) return 0;
if(!Array.isArray(arr)) return 0;
if(!val) return arr.length;
let newArrLength = 0;
for(let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {

return newArrLength;

Hello @Amaka202, thank you for participating in Week 2 of Algorithm Fridays.

This is a really decent solution and much improved from last week. I particularly like that you handled the edge cases well. Very neat!

The logic for your solution correctly centers around looping through the array to check for elements whose values are not equal to val. Do you think there's a faster way to loop through the array?

I've posted my solution here. Do let me know what you think.
