Given an array 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.
Note: You are not suppose to use the library's sort function for this problem.
Example:
Input: [2,0,2,1,1,0] Output: [0,0,1,1,2,2]
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?
题目描述:只有 0/1/2 三种颜色。
分析:它其实是三向切分快速排序的一种变种,在三向切分快速排序中,每次切分都将数组分成三个区间:小于切分元素、等于切分元素、大于切分元素,而该算法是将数组分成三个区间:等于红色、等于白色、等于蓝色。
