Solution: Sort Colors

Explore the two pointers technique by solving the Sort Colors problem, which requires sorting an array of red, white, and blue colors in place. Learn how to apply the Dutch National Flag algorithm using three pointers to partition the array efficiently in a single pass with constant extra space.

Statement

You are given an array nums of length n, where each element represents an object colored either red, white, or blue. The integers 01, and 2 are used to represent red, white, and blue, respectively.

Sort the array in place so that all objects of the same color are grouped together, arranged in the order: red (0), white (1), and blue (2).

You must solve this problem without using any library sort function.
