Problem Explanation Given an integer array nums, your task is to move all 0s to the end of the array while maintaining the relative order of non-zero elements. Important: You must do this in-place Do not create a new array Example: Input: nums = [0, 1, 0, 3, 12] Output: [1, 3, 12, 0, 0] Input: nums = [0] Output: [0] Method Used: Two Pointer Technique We use: One pointer to track position for non-zero elements Another pointer to traverse the array Why This Method? Time complexity: O(n) Space complexity: O(1) Maintains order of non-zero elements Efficient and simple Python Code with Explanation class Solution: def moveZeroes(self, nums): Defines the function (in-place modification, no return needed). insert_pos = 0 insert_pos keeps track of where the next non-zero element should go. for i in range(len(nums)): Loop through each element using index i. if nums[i] != 0: Check if the current element is non-zero. nums[insert_pos], nums[i] = nums[i], nums[insert_pos] Swap the non-zero element w
