        int copyIndex = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
            if( chkIndex < rows.length && i == rows[chkIndex] ) {
                chkIndex++;
            } else {

Initial Description

A rough "it works" way to delete elements from an array given the array of indices to delete. A new array is created by copying over the remaining elements.

Any suggestions on how to make this more efficient appreciated :)
