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

class Solution {
  void moveZeroes(List<int> nums) {
    int firstZero = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
      if (nums[i] != 0) {
        _swap(firstZero, i, nums);
        firstZero++;
      }
    }
  }

  void _swap(int index1, int index2, List<int> numbers) {
    int temp = numbers[index2];
    numbers[index2] = numbers[index1];
    numbers[index1] = temp;
  }
}
