Find The Missing Duplicate in a Given Array.

Objec­tive: – Given an Integer array. Array contains duplicates of all the numbers in array except one number . Find that number.

Example :

int [] A = { 2,1,3,5,5,3,2,1,6,7,7,8,8};
Output : Missing duplicate is 6

Appraoch:

• Naive solution is use Hash Table ..space complexity – O(n)
• Better solution – XOR
• A^A = 0 and A^B^A = B, so if we XOR all the elements, answer will be the missing no
• If we have only one element, the missing no will be that no
