75. Sort Colors

Source code notebook Author Update time

Given an array nums with n objects colored red, white, or blue, sort them **in-place **so that objects of the same color are adjacent, with the colors in the order red, white, and blue.

Here, we will use the integers 0, 1, and 2 to represent the color red, white, and blue respectively.

Follow up:

  • Could you solve this problem without using the library's sort function?
  • Could you come up with a one-pass algorithm using only O(1) constant space?

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,0,2,1,1,0]
Output: [0,0,1,1,2,2]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,0,1]
Output: [0,1,2]

Example 3:

Input: nums = [0]
Output: [0]

Example 4:

Input: nums = [1]
Output: [1]

Constraints:

  • n == nums.length
  • 1 <= n <= 300
  • nums[i] is 0, 1, or 2.
