268. Missing Number

Given an array containing n distinct numbers taken from 0, 1, 2, ..., n, find the one that is missing from the array.

For example, Given nums = [0, 1, 3] return 2.

Note:

Your algorithm should run in linear runtime complexity. Could you implement it using only constant extra space complexity?

Solution: XOR

class Solution(object):
    def missingNumber(self, nums):
        """
        :type nums: List[int]
        :rtype: int
        """
        missing = len(nums)
        for idx, num in enumerate(nums):
            missing ^= idx ^ num
        return missing
