Given an array with n objects colored red, white or blue, sort them 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.
Note:
You are not 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 an one-pass algorithm using only constant space?
方法2:遍历一遍,如果是0,往前置换;如果是2,往后置换
public class Solution {
public void sortColors(int[] A) {
int len=A.length;
int start=0;
if(len==0) //数组为空的情况
return;
int end=len-1;
for(int i=0;i<len;i++)
{
while(start<len && A[start]==0) //防止数组越界
start++;
if(i<start)
i=start;
while(end>=0 && A[end]==2) //防止数组越界
end--;
if(i>end)
break;
if(A[i]==2)
{
A[i]=A[end];
A[end]=2;
end--;
}
if(A[i]==0) //不能用else if,需要考虑置换的数值是否为0
{
A[i]=A[start];
A[start]=0;
start++;
}
}
}
}
