268. Missing Number

Posted 2020-10-10 apanda009

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?

 

1.XOR
public int missingNumber(int[] nums) { //xor
    int res = nums.length;
    for(int i=0; i<nums.length; i++){
        res ^= i;
        res ^= nums[i];
    }
    return res;
}
2.SUM
public int missingNumber(int[] nums) { //sum
    int len = nums.length;
    int sum = (0+len)*(len+1)/2;
    for(int i=0; i<len; i++)
        sum-=nums[i];
    return sum;
}
3.Binary Search
public int missingNumber(int[] nums) { //binary search
    Arrays.sort(nums);
    int left = 0, right = nums.length, mid= (left + right)/2;
    while(left<right){
        mid = (left + right)/2;
        if(nums[mid]>mid) right = mid;
        else left = mid+1;
    }
    return left;
}
