Given an array containing n distinct numbers taken from 0, 1, 2, ..., n, find the one that is missing from the array.
For example, Given nums = [0, 1, 3] return 2. Note: Your algorithm should run in linear runtime complexity. Could you implement it using only constant extra space complexity? Credits: Special thanks to @jianchao.li.fighter for adding this problem and creating all test cases.
非常妙的一题
使用xor操作, nums中给出的n个数其范围应该在[0, n]之间(共n+1个)即0.1.2.3...n,然后抽掉了一个数,形成nums中的数字(共n个)。所以使用0.1.2.3...n这n+1个数字和数组内各个元素做xor,n+n+1= 2n+1,这样下来必有一个数找不到和他一致的xor为零的数,这个数就是nums数组中缺少的那个class Solution {public: int missingNumber(vector & nums) { int len = nums.size(); int pos = 0; for (int i=0; i
或者也可以使用数列求和公式
class Solution {public: int missingNumber(vector & nums) { int len = nums.size(); double sum_should = (0 + len) * (len + 1) / 2.0; double sum_actual = 0; for (int e : nums) { sum_actual += e; } return sum_should - sum_actual; }};
