leetcode解题: Move Zeros (283)

Given an array nums, write a function to move all 0’s to the end of it while maintaining the relative order of the non-zero elements.

For example, given nums = [0, 1, 0, 3, 12], after calling your function, nums should be [1, 3, 12, 0, 0].

Note:
You must do this in-place without making a copy of the array.
Minimize the total number of operations.

解法1:双指针 O(N) time with O(1) space

这题的思路很像Quick Sort里partition的思路,需要用到两个指针。一个指针用来traverse,另一个用来记录下一个非0的元素需要插入的位置。
C++中有一个swap function,可以交换两个reference的值。
