Move Zeros to End with Java Two Pointer Technique

#Coding9 Q: Move Zeros to the End (Two Pointer Technique – Java) Example: int[] arr = {0, 1, 0, 3, 12}; Output → {1, 3, 12, 0, 0} ✅ Two Pointer Technique (Optimal – O(n), O(1)) static void moveZeros(int[] arr) { int j = 0; // position to place next non-zero for(int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { if(arr[i] != 0) { int temp = arr[i]; arr[i] = arr[j]; arr[j] = temp; j++; } } } How It Works i scans the entire array j tracks where the next non-zero should go When a non-zero is found → swap with index j Zeros automatically move toward the end Complexity Analysis • Time Complexity → O(n) • Space Complexity → O(1) (In-place solution) This approach is interview-preferred because it is efficient and preserves order. #DSA #Java #Arrays #TwoPointers #ProblemSolving #InterviewPrep #LearningInPublic #LinkedInDSA
