# Time:  O(n)
# Space: O(1)
#
# Given an array nums, write a function to move all 0's
# to the end of it while maintaining the relative order 
# of the non-zero elements.
#
# For example, given nums = [0, 1, 0, 3, 12], after 
# calling your function, nums should be [1, 3, 12, 0, 0].
#
# Note:
# You must do this in-place without making a copy of the array.
# Minimize the total number of operations.
