Problem: Cyclic Sort

easy
15 min
Explore how to use cyclic sort to efficiently rearrange an integer array where numbers range from 1 to n with unique values. This lesson helps you implement an in-place sorting method with linear time complexity and constant extra space, preparing you to handle related coding interview problems effectively.

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].
