Asked in companies
You have been given an array/list 'arr' consisting of 'n' elements.
Each element in the array is either 0, 1 or 2.
Sort this array/list in increasing order.
Do not make a new array/list. Make changes in the given array/list.
Example :
Input: 'arr' = [2, 2, 2, 2, 0, 0, 1, 0]
Output: Final 'arr' = [0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2]
Explanation: The array is sorted in increasing order.
Problem approach
Keep three indices low = 1, mid = 1 and high = N and there are four ranges, 1 to low (the range containing 0), low to mid (the range containing 1), mid to high (the range containing unknown elements) and high to N (the range containing 2).
Traverse the array from start to end and mid is less than high. (Loop counter is i)
If the element is 0 then swap the element with the element at index low and update low = low + 1 and mid = mid + 1
If the element is 1 then update mid = mid + 1
If the element is 2 then swap the element with the element at index high and update high = high – 1 and update i = i – 1. As the swapped element is not processed
Print the output array.
