Compact

Removes zero values from a collection.

  • Use reflect.ValueOf() to get the array or slice, make() to make an appropriate slice.
  • Use a for loop with Value.Len() and Value.Index() to iterate over each element.
  • Use append() to add it to the resulting slice if Value.IsZero() is `false.

func Compact(params ...interface{}) []reflect.Value {
    arr := reflect.ValueOf(params[0])
    r := make([]reflect.Value, 0)

    for i := 0; i < arr.Len(); i++ {
        if !arr.Index(i).IsZero() {
            r = append(r, arr.Index(i))
        }
    }
    return r
}
arr := []float64{1, 0, 5, 2}

for _, v := range Compact(arr) {
  arc = append(arc, v.Float())
}
// arc = [1 5 2]
