Is it cheating to use a standard library algorithm?

void deleteOdd( vector<int> & v )
{
v.erase( std::remove_if( v.begin( ), v.end( ), [](int i) {return i%2; } ), v.end( ) );}

int[] arr = new int[] { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 };
List<int> IntegerList = arr.ToList();
var removeList = IntegerList.RemoveAll(m => m % 2 != 0);

The simple way is get a temporary index which is initial with 0; Look at code

// temporary index;
	index = 0;
	// go over array
	for (number in numbers) {
		if (number % 2 == 0) { // if number is even
			// you just say, for current index put me this number, which is not odd
			numbers[index++] = number;
		}
	}
	// the last tricky is update your length with index;
	numbers.resize(index)

That's all

Most of the solutions here don't account for the O(n) operation for calling remove on the Vector/List/Array, effectively ending up with a O(n^2) solution.

Time Complexity O(n) Space Complexity O(1)

def removeOdd(arr):
    ind = 0
    for i in range(len(arr)):
        if arr[i] % 2 == 0:
            arr[ind], arr[i] = arr[i], arr[ind]
            ind += 1

    return arr[:ind]

Joe's refactored variant:

public static void main(String[] args) {
		List<Integer> nums = new ArrayList<Integer>();
		nums.add(1);
		nums.add(1);
		nums.add(1);
		nums.add(1);
		nums.add(1);
		nums.add(1);
		nums.add(1);
		nums.add(1);
		nums.add(1);
		nums.add(10);
		deleteNum(nums);

	}

	public static void deleteNum(List<Integer> nums) {
		int index = 0;
		int count = nums.size();
		while (count > 0) {
			if (nums.get(index) % 2 != 0) {
				nums.remove(index);
			} else {
				System.out.println(nums.get(index));
				index++;
			}
			count--;
		}
	}
