75. Sort Colors

Medium

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.

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

You must solve this problem without using the library’s sort function.

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]

Constraints:

n == nums.length
1 <= n <= 300

nums[i] is either 0, 1, or 2.

Follow-up: Could you come up with a one-pass algorithm using only constant extra space?

Constraints:

class Solution {

/**
* @param Integer[] $nums
* @return NULL
*/
function sortColors(&$nums) {
$l = 0;
$r = count($nums) – 1;
for ($i = 0; $i <= $r;) {
if ($nums[$i] == 0) {
list($nums[$i], $nums[$l]) = array($nums[$l], $nums[$i]);
$i++;
$l++;
} elseif ($nums[$i] == 1) {
$i++;
} else {
list($nums[$i], $nums[$r]) = array($nums[$r], $nums[$i]);
$r–;
}
}
}
}
