Title:
Given an array with n objects colored red, white or blue, sort them so, objects of the same color is Adjacen T, with the colors in the order red, white and blue.
Here, we'll use the integers 0, 1, and 2 to represent the color red, white, and blue respectively.
Note:
You is not a suppose to use the library's sort function for this problem.

Follow up:
A rather straight forward solution is a two-pass algorithm using counting sort.
First, iterate the array counting number of 0 ' s, 1 ' s, and 2 ' s, then overwrite array with total number of 0 ' s, then 1 ' s and Followed by 2 ' s.
Could you come up with a one-pass algorithm using only constant space?
Test Instructions:
Given a set of objects that have red, white, and blue colors, reorder them so that objects of the same color are adjacent. The order after sorting is red, white and blue.
Here we use 0, 1, and second respectively to represent the red and white blue three colors.
Note: You cannot use the sort function in the library.
Algorithm Analysis:
Method One:
A three-pointer approach, similar to a quick sort
left = 0, pointer right = n-1, one traversal, if 0 is encountered, swap to left, encounter 2, swap to right, encounter 1 forget it.
Method Two:
Here's a way to compare low, but it's better to understand
Count the number of 0,1,2 separately, and re-assign the array
AC Code:
public class Solution {public void Sortcolors (int[] a) { if (a = = NULL | | A.length = = 0) return; int left = 0; int right = A.length-1; int cur = left; while (cur <= right) { if (a[cur] = = 0) { swap (A, left++, cur); Cur = (cur <= left)? left:cur; } else if (a[cur] = = 2) { swap (A, right--, cur); } else { cur++;}} } public void Swap (int[] A, int i, int j) { int temp = a[i]; A[i] = a[j]; A[J] = temp; }}
Method Two:
public class solution{public void Sortcolors (int[] A) { int count0 = 0;int Count1 = 0;int Count2 = 0;for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {if (a[i] = = 0) {count0++;} if (a[i] = = 1) {count1++;} if (a[i] = = 2) {count2++;}} for (int i = 0; i < count0; i++) {a[i] = 0;} for (int i = count0; i < count0+count1; i++) {a[i] = 1;} for (int i = count0+count1; i < Count0+count1+count2; i++) {a[i] = 2;}} }
