Given a read only array of n + 1 integers between 1 and n, find one number that repeats in linear time using less than O(n) space and traversing the stream sequentially O(1) times.

Sample Input:

[3 4 1 4 1]
Sample Output:

1
If there are multiple possible answers ( like in the sample case above ), output any one.

If there is no duplicate, output -1




SOLUTION:

int Solution::repeatedNumber(const vector<int> &A) {
// Do not write main() function.
// Do not read input, instead use the arguments to the function.
// Do not print the output, instead return values as specified
// Still have a doubt. Checkout www.interviewbit.com/pages/sample_codes/ for more details


vector <bool> v(A.size());
fill(v.begin(), v.end(), true);

for(int i=0;i<A.size();i++)
{
if(v[A[i]])
{
v[A[i]]=false;
}
else
return A[i];
}
}
