Given an array of integers, every element appears three times except for one. Find that single one.
Note:
Your algorithm should have a linear runtime complexity. Could you implement it without using extra memory?
There is a similar like the question Single Number.
From the question, we know that every element appears three times, except one only one time.
So all the three times element if we add each bit, the count in each bit must be three times of 1.
The idea is to add all in each bit, and mod %3 . we could get the number.
Java
public int singleNumber(int[] A) {
int result = 0;
for(int i=0;i<32;i++){
int count = 0;
for(int j=0;j<A.length;j++){
count += ((A[j]>>i) &1);
}
result = result | (count % 3)<<i;
}
return result;
}
c++
int singleNumber(int A[], int n) {
int result = 0;
for(int i=0;i<32;i++){
int count = 0;
for(int j=0;j<n;j++){
count += (A[j]>>i) &1;
}
result |= (count%3)<<i;
}
return result;
}
