i think it has been discussed before....nevertheless here is the required linear time solution.
first, count the total number 0's and 1's in the array. let say, total elements are n and there are x zero's. take count1=0 and count2=x; traverse through the array : for(i=0;i<n;i++) if(arr[i]==0) arr[i]=count1++; else arr[i]=count2++; let's say array is {1,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,1} n=10,x=5 count1=0;count2=5 after the traversal it becomes a[]={5,0,1,2,6,7,8,3,4,9} now sort this array in O(n) like this : for(j=0;j<=1;j++) { for(i=0;i<n;i++) { if(arr[i]!=i) swap(arr[i],arr[arr[i]]); } } after the array is sorted again traverse the array and set the elements from index 0 to x-1 to '0' and rest '1'. -- Amol Sharma Final Year Student Computer Science and Engineering MNNIT Allahabad <http://gplus.to/amolsharma99> <http://twitter.com/amolsharma99><http://in.linkedin.com/pub/amol-sharma/21/79b/507><http://www.simplyamol.blogspot.com/><http://facebook.com/amolsharma99> On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 9:20 PM, Bhaskar Kushwaha < bhaskar.kushwaha2...@gmail.com> wrote: > @Hassan I think your algo will take time O(n^2) in worst case which occurs > when all elements are negative except the last one > @everyone Can we solve this problem in linear time?
