OVERVIEW In this task, I worked on moving all the zeroes in an array to the end while maintaining the order of non-zero elements. WHAT I DID I created a function that rearranges the array such that: All non-zero elements stay in the front All zeroes move to the end The relative order remains the same EXAMPLE Input : nums = [0, 1, 0, 3, 12] output : [1, 3, 12, 0, 0] LOGIC IMPLEMENTED To solve this problem, I used a two-pointer approach: One pointer (pos) keeps track of where to place the next non-zero element The other pointer (i) traverses the array Traverse the array If element is non-zero: Swap it with position pos Move pos forward HOW IT WORKS First, all non-zero elements are shifted to the front While doing that, zeroes automatically move to the end The order of non-zero elements is preserved class Solution: def moveZeroes(self, nums): pos = 0 # position for next non-zero element for i in range(len(nums)): if nums[i] != 0: nums[pos], nums[i] = nums[i], nums[pos] pos += 1
