You are given a string 'S'. Your task is to check whether the string is palindrome or not. For checking palindrome, consider alphabets and numbers only and ignore the symbols and whitespaces.

Note :

String 'S' is NOT case sensitive.

Example :

Let S = “c1 O$d@eeD o1c”.
If we ignore the special characters, whitespaces and convert all uppercase letters to lowercase, we get S = “c1odeedo1c”, which is a palindrome. Hence, the given string is also a palindrome.
Problem approach

A simple and intuitive approach could be to compare the given string with its reversed form and check whether they are equal or not. Ignoring the symbols, whitespaces and case during the comparison.

You have been given an integer array/list(ARR) of size 'N'. It only contains 0s, 1s and 2s. Write a solution to sort this array/list.

Note :
Try to solve the problem in 'Single Scan'. ' Single Scan' refers to iterating over the array/list just once or to put it in other words, you will be visiting each element in the array/list just once.
Problem approach

Count the number of 0s and 1s present in the input array. Suppose “count0” and “count1” be the number of 0s and 1s present respectively. Then replace the first “count0” elements in the array with 0 and the remaining elements with 1.
