Challenge 2: Single Number
In this lesson, every element appears twice except one element. We solve this using naive, and then we move to solve it more optimally using XOR operator.
Single Number coding question, can be easily solved with XOR bitwise technique with linear time complexity.
We solved the problem using lookup (hashtable), using the mathematical formula. Let's solve this more efficiently using bit-level operations with XOR and then optimize the solution.
In this article, we'll learn various ways to find the missing number in an array. We use a memoization approach, a mathematical approach, and the most optimized way using the XOR operator.
