Problem: First Missing Positive

Explore how to identify the first missing positive integer in an unsorted integer array efficiently. Learn to implement a cycle sort-based approach that rearranges elements in-place to achieve linear time complexity and constant auxiliary space. Understand the problem constraints, algorithm steps, and gain practical insights into optimizing array operations in Java.

Statement

Given an unsorted integer array nums, find and return the smallest positive integer that is not present in nums.

Your solution must run in O(n)O(n) time and use O(1)O(1) auxiliary space.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq ...
