# Problem:
|
|
=begin
|
|
Given an array of size N ,taht has elements in range 1 to N ,all elements in the arrayb are unique,
|
|
Find the missing number.
|
|
e.g.
|
|
array = [1,5,2,4,6]
|
|
answer = 3
|
|
=end
|
|
|
|
#Approach 1 - Find the sum of all elements of array and substract it from sum of the range , the difference will be missing number.
|
|
# Time-complexity = O(n)
|
|
#Caveats: If the numbers are very large the sum can lead to integer overflow.
|
|
|
|
def find_missing_number(a)
|
|
n = a.length+1
|
|
range_sum = (n * (n+1))/2 # Sum of numbers from 1 to n is (n* n+1 )/2
|
|
arr_sum = 0
|
|
for x in a
|
|
arr_sum+=x
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
return missing_element = range_sum - arr_sum
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
|
|
#Approach 2 (No integer overflow)- Take bitwise XOR of all elements of the array with the numbers in given range,
|
|
#As( a XOR a == 0 ) all numbers present in array will xor out and become zero except the missing number.
|
|
# Time-complexity = O(n)
|
|
|
|
def find_missing_number(a)
|
|
n = a.length+1
|
|
missing_element = 0
|
|
(1..n).each {|num| missing_element^= num}
|
|
for x in a
|
|
missing_element^=x
|
|
end
|
|
return missing_element
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#Ruby magic
|
|
#One line code but it uses O(n) auxiliary-space, it returns an array containing only the missing_element
|
|
# Array1-Array2 in ruby returns an array containing all the elements that are in Array1 but not in Array2
|
|
|
|
def find_missing_number(a)
|
|
n = a.length+1
|

range = Array (1..n)

missing_element = range-a
