#+PROPERTY: STUDY_DECK_02 * TODO 0268. Missing Number :easy: :PROPERTIES: :NEETCODE: [[file:../../roadmap.org::*0268. Missing Number][0268. Missing Number]] :END: Given an array ~nums~ containing ~n~ distinct numbers in the range ~[0, n]~, return /the only number in the range that is missing from the array./ *Example 1:* *Input:* nums = [3,0,1] *Output:* 2 *Explanation:* ~n = 3~ since there are 3 numbers, so all numbers are in the range ~[0,3]~. 2 is the missing number in the range since it does not appear in ~nums~. *Example 2:* *Input:* nums = [0,1] *Output:* 2 *Explanation:* ~n = 2~ since there are 2 numbers, so all numbers are in the range ~[0,2]~. 2 is the missing number in the range since it does not appear in ~nums~. *Example 3:* *Input:* nums = [9,6,4,2,3,5,7,0,1] *Output:* 8 *Explanation:* ~n = 9~ since there are 9 numbers, so all numbers are in the range ~[0,9]~. 8 is the missing number in the range since it does not appear in ~nums~. *Constraints:* - ~n == nums.length~ - ~1 <= n <= 10^{4}~ - ~0 <= nums[i] <= n~ - All the numbers of ~nums~ are *unique*. *Follow up:* Could you implement a solution using only ~O(1)~ extra space complexity and ~O(n)~ runtime complexity? ** TODO Approach Write your approach here. ** TODO Python #+begin_src python class Solution: def missingNumber(self, nums: List[int]) -> int: #+end_src ** TODO C++ #+begin_src cpp class Solution { public: int missingNumber(vector& nums) { } }; #+end_src
