Sort Colors
Given an array with n objects colored red, white or blue,
sort them so that objects of the same color are adjacent, with the colors in the order red, white and blue.
Here, we will use the integers 0, 1, and 2 to represent the color red, white, and blue respectively.
Note:
You are not suppose to use the library’s sort function for this problem.

A rather straight forward solution is a two-pass algorithm using counting sort.
First, iterate the array counting number of 0′s, 1′s, and 2′s, then overwrite array
with total number of 0′s, then 1′s and followed by 2′s.

Could you come up with an one-pass algorithm using only constant space?
由于只有三种颜色,可以设置两个index,一个是red的index,一个是blue的index,两边往中间走。

int red = 0, blue = n - 1;
for (int i = 0; i < blue + 1)
{
if (A[i] == 0)
swap(A[i++], A[red++]);
else if (A[i] == 2)
swap(A[i], A[blue--]);

i++;
