LeetCode in Elixir
41. First Missing Positive
Hard
Given an unsorted integer array nums, return the smallest missing positive integer.
You must implement an algorithm that runs in O(n) time and uses constant extra space.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,2,0]
Output: 3
Explanation: The numbers in the range [1,2] are all in the array.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [3,4,-1,1]
Output: 2
Explanation: 1 is in the array but 2 is missing.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [7,8,9,11,12]
Output: 1
Explanation: The smallest positive integer 1 is missing.
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 105-231 <= nums[i] <= 231 - 1
Solution
defmodule Solution do
@spec first_missing_positive(nums :: [integer]) :: integer
def first_missing_positive(nums) do
nums
|> Enum.sort()
|> find_missing_num()
end
defp find_missing_num(nums, acc \\ 1)
defp find_missing_num([], acc) do
acc
end
defp find_missing_num([h | t], acc) do
acc = if h == acc, do: acc + 1, else: acc
find_missing_num(t, acc)
end
end
