283. Move Zeroes

Easy

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

Note that you must do this in-place without making a copy of the array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [0,1,0,3,12]

Output: [1,3,12,0,0]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [0]

Output: [0]

Constraints:

Follow up: Could you minimize the total number of operations done?

Solution

#include <stdio.h>

void swap(int* a, int* b) {
    int temp = *a;
    *a = *b;
    *b = temp;
}

void moveZeroes(int* nums, int numsSize) {
    int firstZero = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < numsSize; i++) {
        if (nums[i] != 0) {
            swap(&nums[firstZero], &nums[i]);
            firstZero++;
        }
    }
}
