Problem: Cyclic Sort

Medium
30 min
Explore the cyclic sort pattern to efficiently sort integer arrays with distinct values in a given range. Understand how to solve problems involving missing or misplaced numbers using an optimal approach that runs in linear time and constant space. This lesson equips you with practical coding techniques to implement cyclic sort 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].
