Move Zeros To Left

You are provided an array ARR of integers. Your task is to rearrange this array such that all elements with zero values are moved to the left, and all non-zero elements follow them, preserving their original order.

Example:

Input:
{ 1, 1, 0, 2, 0 }
Output:
{ 0, 0, 1, 1, 2 }
Explanation:

Arrays like { 0, 0, 1, 2, 1 } and { 0, 0, 2, 1, 1 } are incorrect as they do not maintain the relative order of non-zero elements.

Follow Up:

Consider improving the solution for linear time complexity with constant space.

Input:

The first line contains an integer 'T' - the number of test cases. Each test case starts with an integer 'N' representing the number of elements in the array 'ARR'. The next line contains 'N' space-separated integers representing the array.

Output:

For each test case, print the modified array on a new line.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 10
  • 1 <= N <= 10^5
  • -10^9 <= ARR[i] <= 10^9
  • The solution should aim for a time complexity of O(N) and space complexity of O(1).
Note:
No need to print outputs, just implement the function logic.
