Find the missing and repeating number

Given an unsorted array of size n. Array elements are in the range of 1 to n. One number from set {1, 2, …n} is missing and one number occurs twice in the array. Find these two numbers.

Examples: 

Input: arr[] = {3, 1, 3}
Output: Missing = 2, Repeating = 3
Explanation: In the array, 2 is missing and 3 occurs twice 

Input: arr[] = {4, 3, 6, 2, 1, 1}
Output: Missing = 5, Repeating = 1

Below are various methods to solve the problems: 

Method 1 (Use count array)
Approach: 

  • Create a temp array temp[] of size n with all initial values as 0.
  • Traverse the input array arr[], and do the following for each arr[i] 
    • if(temp[arr[i]-1] == 0), set temp[arr[i]-1] = 1;
    • if(temp[arr[i]-1] == 1) output “arr[i]” //repeating number
  • Traverse temp[] and output ‘i+1’ corresponding to the element of array temp[] having value as 0. (This is the missing number)

Note that, we use ‘arr[i]-1’ as the corresponding element to the ‘arr[i]’ in temp[] array, as indexing in an array starts from 0 to n-1 and the input array arr[] has numbers from 1 to n.

C++




#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
void printTwoElements(int arr[], int n)
{
    int temp[n] = {}; // Creating temp array of size n with
                      // initial values as 0.
    int repeatingNumber=-1;
    int missingNumber=-1;
   
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        temp[arr[i]-1]++;
        if (temp[arr[i] - 1] > 1) {
            repeatingNumber = arr[i];
        }
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        if (temp[i] == 0) {
            missingNumber = i + 1;
            break;
        }
    }
   
    cout << "The repeating number is " << repeatingNumber<<"."
         << endl;
    cout << "The missing number is " << missingNumber<<"."
         << endl;
   
}

// This code is contributed by vivek1208


Output

The repeating number is 5.
The missing number is 1.


Time Complexity: O(n)
Auxiliary Space: O(n)

Method 2 (Use elements as Index and mark the visited places)
Approach: 
Traverse the array. While traversing, use the absolute value of every element as an index and make the value at this index negative to mark it visited. If something is already marked negative then this is the repeating element. To find the missing, traverse the array again and look for a positive value.

Output

The repeating element is 5
and the missing element is 1

Time Complexity: O(n)
Auxiliary Space: O(1) as it is using constant variables
Thanks to Manish Mishra for suggesting this method. 

Method 3 (Make two equations)
Approach:

  • Let x be the missing and y be the repeating element.
  • Get the sum of all numbers using formula S = n(n+1)/2 – x + y
  • Get product of all numbers using formula P = 1*2*3*…*n * y / x
  • The above two steps give us two equations, we can solve the equations and get the values of x and y.

Time Complexity: O(n)
Thanks to disappearedng for suggesting this solution. 

Note: This method can cause arithmetic overflow as we calculate the product and sum of all array elements.

Method 4 (Use XOR)

Approach:

  • Let x and y be the desired output elements.
  • Calculate the XOR of all the array elements.

xor1 = arr[0]^arr[1]^arr[2]…..arr[n-1]

  • XOR the result with all numbers from 1 to n

xor1 = xor1^1^2^…..^n

  • In the result xor1, all elements would nullify each other except x and y. All the bits that are set in xor1 will be set in either x or y. So if we take any set bit (We have chosen the rightmost set bit in code) of xor1 and divide the elements of the array in two sets – one set of elements with the same bit set and another set with the same bit not set. By doing so, we will get x in one set and y in another set. Now if we do XOR of all the elements in the first set, we will get x, and by doing the same in the other set we will get y. 

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
 
using namespace std;
 
int x, y;
 
// Function to find the repeating and missing elements in an
// array
void getTwoElements(vector<int>& arr, int n)
{
    int xor1 = 0; // Will hold xor of all elements and
                  // numbers from 1 to n
    int set_bit_no; // Will have only a single set bit of
                    // xor1
    x = 0;
    y = 0;
 
    xor1 = arr[0];
 
    // Get the xor of all array elements
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)
        xor1 = xor1 ^ arr[i];
 
    // XOR the previous result with numbers from 1 to n
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
        xor1 = xor1 ^ i;
 
    // Get the rightmost set bit in set_bit_no
    set_bit_no = xor1 & ~(xor1 - 1);
 
    // Divide elements into two sets by comparing rightmost
    // set bit of xor1 with bit at the same position in each
    // element. Also, get XORs of two sets. The two XORs are
    // the output elements.
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        if ((arr[i] & set_bit_no) != 0)
            x = x
                ^ arr[i]; // arr[i] belongs to the first set
        else
            y = y ^ arr[i]; // arr[i] belongs to the second
                            // set
    }
 
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
        if ((i & set_bit_no) != 0)
            x = x ^ i; // i belongs to the first set
        else
            y = y ^ i; // i belongs to the second set
    }
 
    // *x and *y hold the desired output elements
}
 
int main()
{
    vector<int> arr = { 1, 3, 4, 5, 1, 6, 2 };
    int n = arr.size();
    getTwoElements(arr, n);
    cout << "The missing element is " << x
         << " and the repeating number is " << y << endl;
    return 0;
}

Output

 The missing element is 7 and the repeating number is 5

Time Complexity: O(n)
Auxiliary Space: O(1) as it is using constant space if the input array is excluded
This method doesn’t cause overflow, but it doesn’t tell which one occurs twice and which one is missing. We can add one more step that checks which one is missing and which one is repeating. This can be easily done in O(n) time.

Method 5 (Use a Map)
Approach: 
This method involves creating a Hashtable with the help of Map. In this, the elements are mapped to their natural index. In this process, if an element is mapped twice, then it is the repeating element. And if an element’s mapping is not there, then it is the missing element.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ program to find the repeating
// and missing elements using Maps
#include <iostream>
#include <unordered_map>
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 4, 3, 6, 2, 1, 1 };
    int n = 6;
     
    unordered_map<int, bool> numberMap;
     
    for(int i : arr)
    {
        if (numberMap.find(i) ==
            numberMap.end())
        {
            numberMap[i] = true;
        }
        else
        {
            cout << "Repeating = " << i;
              break;
        }
    }
    cout << endl;
     
    for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
    {
        if (numberMap.find(i) ==
            numberMap.end())
        {
            cout << "Missing = " << i;
              break;
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

Method 6 (Make two equations using sum and sum of squares)
Approach:

  • Let x be the missing and y be the repeating element.
  • Let N is the size of the array.
  • Get the sum of all numbers using the formula S = N(N+1)/2
  • Get the sum of square of all numbers using formula Sum_Sq = N(N+1)(2N+1)/6
  • Iterate through a loop from i=1….N
  • S -= A[i]
  • Sum_Sq -= (A[i]*A[i])
  • It will give two equations 
    x-y = S – (1) 
    x^2 – y^2 = Sum_sq 
    x+ y = (Sum_sq/S) – (2)
