Hi Dave, Can you explain your algo for these 2 cases... 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1
Please explain me in steps cause we tried the same problem and can't get it done for without using extra space. ( we used 1 extra space, if the array can contain only 0 or 1 and no other number, otherwise we store some other number indicating a yet to become zero and proceed, in the later case we need no extra space ) Thanks and Regards, K.V.Chandra Kumar On 15/11/2007, Dave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Scan the array.
