/**
 * The array is divided into four sections: a[1..Lo-1] zeroes a[Lo..Mid-1] ones
 * a[Mid..Hi] unknown a[Hi+1..N] twos If array [mid] =0, then swap array [mid]
 * with array [low] and increment both pointers once. If array [mid] = 1, then
 * no swapping is required. Increment mid pointer once. If array [mid] = 2, then
 * we swap array [mid] with array [high] and decrement the high pointer once.
