    Great explaination! But I noticed one thing, in the first example, first swap is wrong as middle was at 0, so swap between start and middle should take place and start and middle should move and not between middle and end i.e 0 and 2 what you did because middle was not at 2.

    why we are not incrementing mid when it is arr[mid] is 2?

    • @nikoo28
      @nikoo28  5 месяцев назад +1

      we swap it out, and put the 2 at the end. so we don't increment it. we need to see what came after the swap.

    why don't we just loop through the entire array and count the 0's and 1's in seperate variables, then loop the array again and replace number of 0, 1, 2 in that order.

    Why not just count zeroes and ones and refill the array in place? 😂

    • @nikoo28
      @nikoo28  6 месяцев назад +2

      You will need to iterate over the array twice. First to count all the different 0 and 1s. Next iteration will be to actually fill all the elements.
      In the approach I discuss, we just do a single scan of the array.

    • @hwval-zw4hy
      @hwval-zw4hy 6 месяцев назад

      @@nikoo28 I like your solution. One pass is good.
      Though counting involves same big O complexity and simpler approach.
      I also think your solution fits better definition of in-place. E.g. if these were objects, not integers to sort: mine solution wouldn't be acceptable.
