Array Q

[Karthikeyan_Mathiyalagan]

Hi now i am having one input array which contains eight elements with inbetween space in the array.Now i want to fill the empty space with next element and i also want the final array size to be equal as input by replacing empty in it.

Hope it helps..

Here is another method which allows you to simply fill in whatever you want to replace the empty elements.  It uses no loop and may be faster for much bigger arrays.

If you simply want to preserve the blank string elements and put them at the bottom, you can easily modify the code.

If the solution provided by Mike is what you were looking for, here is a simplified version:

Hi JoeLabView,

thats a good solution, but what if the input is like this (see the picture)? With your solution you have an other order as consciously.

Do you mean not sorting the array?

Hi JoeLabView,

yes thats what i mean, because he only want to move the empty fields to the end of the array.

That sounded almost like a challenge 😄 LOL!!

Okay here goes.  This version will require the number of iterations based on the numbver of items to move to the bottom.  So, using your example, it will do it in 3+1 = 4 iterations.

Can't get away from using a loop.  Maybe if Altenbach sees this thread, he may have some other improvements LOL!! 😄  Well, it can be improve a tiny bit to exclude that last iteration..  we won't get into that.. 😉

For huge arrays and if speed is essential, you can try this one.  😉
