Given an unsorted array of integers, you have to move the array elements in a way such that all the zeroes are transferred to the end, and all the non-zero elements are moved to the front. The non-zero elements must be ordered in their order of appearance.

For example, if the input array is: [0, 1, -2, 3, 4, 0, 5, -27, 9, 0], then the output array must be:

[1, -2, 3, 4, 5, -27, 9, 0, 0, 0].

Expected Complexity: Try doing it in O(n) time complexity and O(1) space complexity. Here, ‘n’ is the size of the array.

‘N’ people are standing in a circle numbered from ‘1’ to ‘N’ in clockwise order. First, the person numbered 1 will proceed in a clockwise direction and will skip K-1 persons including itself and will kill a Kth person. Now (K+1)th person from 1 will start and will kill the Kth person from itself.

You have to find the position of the last person surviving with respect to initial numbering.

Note:
A person can also kill himself.
