Given an array nums with n objects colored red, white, or blue, sort them in-place so that objects of the same color are adjacent, with the colors in the order red, white, and blue.

We will use the integers 0, 1, and 2 to represent the color red, white, and blue, respectively.

You must solve this problem without using the library’s sort function.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,0,2,1,1,0]
Output: [0,0,1,1,2,2]
class Solution {
public:
void sortColors(vector<int>& nums) {
int p0 = 0;
int p1 = 0;
int curr = 0;

// scan 0
for(p0 = curr; p0 < nums.size(); p0++) {
if (nums[p0] == 0) {
swap(nums[p0], nums[curr]);
curr++;
}
}

// scan 1
for(p1 = curr; p1 < nums.size(); p1++) {
if (nums[p1] == 1) {
swap(nums[p1], nums[curr]);
curr++;
}
}
}
};
