Day 28 of 100 Days LeetCode Challenge

LeetCode Challenge #75. Sort Colors

Given an array nums with n objects colored red, white, or blue, sort them in-place so that objects of the same color are adjacent, with the colors in the order red, white, and blue.

We will use the integers 01, and 2 to represent the color red, white, and blue, respectively.

You must solve this problem without using the library’s sort function.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,0,2,1,1,0]
Output: [0,0,1,1,2,2]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,0,1]
Output: [0,1,2]

 

Constraints:

  • n == nums.length
  • 1 <= n <= 300
  • nums[i] is either 01, or 2.

					class Solution {
    public void sortColors(int[] nums) {
        int low = 0 ;
        int mid = 0 ;
        int high = nums.length-1 ;

        while(mid<=high){
            if(nums[mid]==0){
                swap(nums,low,mid);
                low++;
                mid++;
            }else if ( nums[mid]==1){
                mid++;
            }else{
                swap(nums,high,mid);
                high--;
            }
        }
    }

    public void swap(int[] nums , int i , int j ){
        int k = nums[i];
        nums[i] = nums[j];
        nums[j] = k ;
    }
}
