Challenge: Partitioning of 0s and 1s
Learn how you can solve the problem of partitioning 0s and 1s using a sorting algorithm.
We'll cover the following
Problem
Given an array of 0s and 1s, write an algorithm to sort the array so that the 0s come first. Find the minimum number of swaps to sort the array.
Input
An integer array.
Output
An integer array and the count of minimum number of swaps.
Sample input
array = {0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1}
Sample output
array = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}
count = 3
