922. Sort Array By Parity II

1. Description

Given an array A of non-negative integers, half of the integers in A are odd, and half of the integers are even.
Sort the array so that whenever A[i] is odd, i is odd; and whenever A[i] is even, i is even.
You may return any answer array that satisfies this condition.

2. Example

Example 1:
Input: [4,2,5,7]
Output: [4,5,2,7]
Explanation: [4,7,2,5], [2,5,4,7], [2,7,4,5] would also have been accepted.

3. Note

  • 2 <= A.length <= 20000
  • A.length % 2 == 0
  • 0 <= A[i] <= 1000

4. Solutions

My Accepted Solution

n = m_array.size()
Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(1)

class Solution 
{
public:
    // vector<int> sortArrayByParityII(vector<int>& A)
    vector<int> sortArrayByParityII(vector<int> &m_array)
    {
        for(int even = 0, odd = 1; even < m_array.size() && odd < m_array.size(); )
        {
            while(even < m_array.size() && ((m_array[even] & 1) == 0)) even += 2;
            while(odd < m_array.size() && ((m_array[odd] & 1) == 1)) odd += 2;
            
            if(even < m_array.size() && odd < m_array.size())
            {
                swap(m_array[even], m_array[odd]);
                even += 2;
                odd += 2;
            }    
        }

        return m_array;
    }
};
