[LeetCode]136. Single Number

Given an array of integers, every element appears twice except for one. Find that single one.

Note:
Your algorithm should have a linear runtime complexity. Could you implement it without using extra memory?

题目

给定一个整数数组，里面只有一个数只出现一次，其余的数都出现两次，找出只出现一次的数。

方法

采用异或运算^
a ^ a = 0
a ^ 0 = a
a ^ b ^ c = a ^ (b ^ c)

c代码

#include 

int singleNumber(int* nums, int numsSize) {
    int i = 0;
    int single = 0;
    for(i = 0; i < numsSize; i++) {
        single ^= nums[i];
    }
    return single;
}

int main() {
    int nums[5] = {1,3,3,1,5};
    assert(singleNumber(nums, 5) == 5);

    return 0;
}
