Problem: Cyclic Sort

Easy
15 min
Explore the cyclic sort algorithm to sort an integer array with unique numbers in a specified range efficiently. Learn how to achieve O(n) time complexity and O(1) extra space usage, enabling you to solve problems involving missing or corrupt numbers effectively during coding interviews.

Statement

You are given an integer array, nums of size nn, where each number is distinct and falls within the range [1,n][1, n]. Your task is to sort the array in place while ensuring a time complexity of O(n)O(n) and using only O(1)O(1) extra space.

Constraints:

  • n==n == nums.length

  • 11 \leq nn 103\leq10^3

  • Each element in nums is unique and within the range [1,n][1, n].
