Moving specific number (without sort) to the left …

I want to just move the zero’s to left and don’t want to sort the list.

For example, if my list is like:

nums = [1, 10, 20, 0, 59, 63, 0, 8, 0]

Here’s the output which I desire after moving all the Zero’s to left:

output = [0, 0, 0, 1, 10, 20, 59, 63, 8]

Here’s the code I tried:

class Solution:
    def moveZeroes(self, nums):
        c = 0
        for i in range(len(nums)):
            if nums[i] != 0:
                nums[i], nums[c] = nums[c], nums[i]
                c += 1
        return nums
print(Solution().moveZeroes(nums))

This code gives me output as:

 [1, 10, 20, 59, 63, 8, 0, 0, 0]

But my desired output is:

[0, 0, 0, 1, 10, 20, 59, 63, 8]

Answer

output = []
for i in nums:
    if i == 0:
        output.insert(0, 0)
    else:
        output.append(i)
output
