Given an array nums containing n distinct numbers in the range [0, n], return the only number in the range that is missing from the array.
Follow up: Could you implement a solution using only O(1) extra space complexity and O(n) runtime complexity?
Example 1:
Input: nums = [3,0,1]
Output: 2
Explanation: n = 3 since there are 3 numbers, so all numbers are in the range [0,3]. 2 is the missing number in the range since it does not appear in nums.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [0,1]
Output: 2
Explanation: n = 2 since there are 2 numbers, so all numbers are in the range [0,2]. 2 is the missing number in the range since it does not appear in nums.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [9,6,4,2,3,5,7,0,1]
Output: 8
Explanation: n = 9 since there are 9 numbers, so all numbers are in the range [0,9]. 8 is the missing number in the range since it does not appear in nums.
Example 4:
Input: nums = [0]
Output: 1
Explanation: n = 1 since there is 1 number, so all numbers are in the range [0,1]. 1 is the missing number in the range since it does not appear in nums.
Constraints:
n == nums.length
1 <= n <= 104
0 <= nums[i] <= n
All the numbers of nums are unique.
class Solution {
public int missingNumber(int[] nums) {
// First way. Arrays sort and from to nums.length to find the missing number.
// 1. Arrays sort.
Arrays.sort(nums);
// 2. find the missing number.
for(int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++){
// 3. if find it. return the index.
if(i != nums[i]){
return i;
}
}
// 4. else return nums.length
return nums.length;
// Second way. HashTable - Set
// init Set
Set<Integer> setNum = new HashSet<Integer>();
// put all array nums in the set list.
for(int i : nums) {
setNum.add(i);
}
// use contains to find the missing number.
for(int i = 0; i < nums.length + 1;i++){
// if find the missing number. return.
// else if we don't find the missing number in the end. we will return nums.length.
if(!setNum.contains(i)){
return i;
}
}
return -1;
// Third way. use XOR.
// XOR have two nature.
// 1. n ^ n = 0;
// 2. 0 ^ n = n;
int n = nums.length;
for(int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++){
n ^= i ^ nums[i];
}
return n;
// fourth way. use math.
int sum1 = nums.length * (nums.length + 1) / 2;
int sum2 = 0;
for(int i : nums){
sum2 += i;
}
return sum1 - sum2;
}
