Problem: Missing Number

Medium
30 min
Explore the cyclic sort pattern to identify the missing number in a given array containing distinct numbers in the range of 0 to n. Understand problem constraints, implement solutions in Python, and apply the pattern to efficiently handle missing number scenarios with no duplicates.

Statement

Given an array, nums, containing nn distinct numbers in the range [0,n][0, n], return the only number in the range that is missing from the array.

Constraints:

  • n=n = nums.length
  • 1n1031 \leq n \leq 10^3
  • 00 \leq nums[i] n\leq n
  • There are no duplicates in the array.
