The task is simple: consolidate an array of ints. Consolidating this array consists of the following:
- All instances of 0 need to be moved to the end of the array.
- There should be no 0s between the non-zero integers.
- All non-zero indices should retain their order.
Challenge
Consolidate an array in the least amount of bytes.
You are consolidating an array of random length with a size up to your language's max with random integers. Input may be any natural way for your language.

Example Code (Java)
public class Consolidate {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
int[] toConsolidate = new int[args.length];
for (int i=0; i<args.length; i++){
toConsolidate[i]=Integer.parseInt(args[i]);
}
for (int i=0; i<toConsolidate.length; i++) {
for (int k=0; k<toConsolidate.length-1; k++) {
if (toConsolidate[k] == 0){
toConsolidate[k] = toConsolidate[k+1];
toConsolidate[k+1] = 0;
}
}
}
for (int i:toConsolidate)
System.out.print(i+" ");
}
