Journey
One has to brush up on their fundamentals before succeeding in any interview. So I started reading up on all the essential themes and disciplines, including DBMS, DSA. I also started practicing DSA. The most crucial phase came after I had prepared the top questions on each subject: I had arranged all of my work and resume. I focused on developing my DSA, creating my resume, and learning the essentials over my four years in college.

You are given an array 'ARR' of integers of length N. Your task is to find the first missing positive integer in linear time and constant space. In other words, find the lowest positive integer that does not exist in the array. The array can have negative numbers as well.

For example, the input [3, 4, -1, 1] should give output 2 because it is the smallest positive number that is missing in the input array.
