C Program to Segregate 0s and 1s in an Array

This C Program segregates 0s on left side & 1s on right side of the array.

Here is source code of the C Program to segregate 0s on left side & 1s on right side of the array. The C program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
