Find missing number
Problem
Given an integer array of size n containing distinct values in the range from 0 to n (inclusive), return the only number missing from the array within this range.
Examples
Input: nums = [0, 2, 3, 1, 4]
Output: 5
Explanation: nums contains 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 thus leaving 5 as the only missing number in the range [0, 5]
Input: nums = [0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6]
Output: 3
Explanation: nums contains 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 thus leaving 3 as the only missing number in the range [0, 6]
Solution
class Solution {
public int missingNumber(int[] nums) {
int n = nums.length;
int arrSum = 0;
int sum = (n * (n + 1))/2;
for(int i : nums) arrSum += i;
return sum - arrSum;
}
}
