Move Zeroes - LeetCode

Given an integer array nums, move all 0's to the end of it while maintaining the relative order of the non-zero elements.

Note that you must do this in-place without making a copy of the array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [0,1,0,3,12]
Output: [1,3,12,0,0]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [0]
Output: [0]

Solution

// using additional array
    public void moveZeros(int[] nums) {
        int[] temp = new int[nums.length];
        int p1 = 0, p2 = nums.length - 1;
        for (int i : nums) {
            if (i == 0) {
                temp[p2] = i;
                p2--;
            } else {
                temp[p1] = i;
                p1++;
            }
        }

        for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
            nums[i] = temp[i];
        }
    }
// using two pointer
    public void moveZeros2(int[] nums) {
        int p = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
            if (nums[i] != 0) {
                swap(nums, i, p);
                p++;
            }
        }
    }

    private void swap(int[] nums, int a, int b) {
        int temp = nums[a];
        nums[a] = nums[b];
        nums[b] = temp;
    }
// move all non-zeros to front then fill the rest with zeros
    public void moveZeroes3(int[] nums) {
        int p = 0;
        for (int i : nums) {
            if (i != 0) {
                nums[p] = i;
                p++;
            }
        }

        for (int i = p; i < nums.length; i++) {
            nums[i] = 0;
        }
    }
