Duplicate zeroes

You are given an array of integers. Write a script to duplicate each occurrence of ZERO in the given array and shift the remaining to the right but make sure the size of array remain the same.

Examples

Example 1
Input: @ints = (1, 0, 2, 3, 0, 4, 5, 0)
Output: (1, 0, 0, 2, 3, 0, 0, 4)

Example 2
Input: @ints = (1, 2, 3)
Output: (1, 2, 3)

Example 3
Input: @ints = (0, 3, 0, 4, 5)
Output: (0, 0, 3, 0, 0)

Analysis

This was quite easy. Pass along @ints. When you find a non-zero, push it onto @new, or if it is a zero, push two zeroes onto @new. And then truncate @new to be the same length as @ints.

You will love the engaging discussion in the post. Too good to be missed.
