    Move Zeroes

    Problem: Given an array nums, write a function to move all 0’s to the end of it while maintaining the relative order of the non-zero elements. For example, given nums = [0, 1, 0, 3, 12], after calling your function, nums should be [1, 3, 12, 0, 0].

    Note:

    1. You must do this in-place without making a copy of the array.
    2. Minimize the total number of operations.

    Solution:

    class Solution {
    public:
        void moveZeroes(vector<int>& nums) {
            int nonZeroPtr = 0;
            for (int i = 0; i < nums.size(); i++) {
                if (nums[i] != 0) {
                    nums[nonZeroPtr++] = nums[i];
                }
            }
    
            for (int j = nonZeroPtr; j < nums.size(); j++) {
                nums[j] = 0;
            }
        }
    };
