Introduction Sorting is a fundamental concept in programming. In this problem, we are given an array that contains only three distinct values: 0s, 1s, and 2s. The goal is to sort the array in ascending order without using any built-in sorting functions. This problem is important because it introduces an efficient technique known as the Dutch National Flag Algorithm. Problem Statement Given an array arr[] containing only 0s, 1s, and 2s, sort the array in ascending order. Constraints: Do not use built-in sorting functions Aim for an efficient solution Example 1 Input: arr = [0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2] Output: [0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2] Example 2 Input: arr = [0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 1] Output: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2] Approach 1: Counting Method Python Implementation (Counting) def sort_array(arr): count0 = arr.count(0) count1 = arr.count(1) count2 = arr.count(2) i = 0 # Fill 0s for _ in range(count0): arr[i] = 0 i += 1 # Fill 1s for _ in range(count1): arr[i] = 1 i += 1 # Fill 2s fo
