[LeetCode] Problem 268 - Missing Number

Posted on | In ,

Given an array containing n distinct numbers taken from 0, 1, 2, …, n, find the one that is missing from the array.

Example

No.1

Input: [3,0,1]

Output: 2

No.2

Input: [9,6,4,2,3,5,7,0,1]

Output: 8

Note

Your algorithm should run in linear runtime complexity. Could you implement it using only constant extra space complexity?
