Given an unsorted integer array, find the first missing positive integer.
For example,
Given [1,2,0]
return 3
,
and [3,4,-1,1]
return 2
.
Your algorithm should run in O(n) time and uses constant space.
example [-1,-2, 1,3];
i ++;
i++ ;
i = 2 nums[2] = 1; nums[nums[2] -1] = nums[0] exchange with nums[2] -> [1, -2, -1, 3]
i++;
i=3 nums[3] = 3 -> nums[2] exchange with nums[3] - > [1,-2,3,-1];
out of loop
anther loop nums[0]= 1 got, nums[1] =-2 return i+1 -> 2
public class Solution { public int firstMissingPositive(int[] nums) { int i = 0 ; while(i < nums.length){ if(nums[i] == i + 1 || nums[i] <= 0 || nums[i] > nums.length) i++; else if(nums[i] != nums[nums[i]-1]) swap(nums, i, nums[i]-1); else i++; } i = 0; while(i < nums.length && i+1 == nums[i]) i++; return i+1; } public void swap(int[] nums, int i, int j){ int temp = nums[i]; nums[i] = nums[j]; nums[j] = temp; } }
