You are given an array/list ‘BINARYNUMS’ that consists of ‘N’ distinct strings which represent all integers from 0 to N in binary representation except one integer. This integer between 0 to ‘N’ whose binary representation is not present in list ‘BINARYNUMS’ is called ‘Missing Integer’.

Your task is to find the binary representation of that ‘Missing Integer’. You should return a string that represents this ‘Missing Integer’ in binary without leading zeros.

Note

1. There will be no leading zeros in any string in the list ‘BINARYNUMS’.

Example:

Consider N = 5 and the list ‘binaryNums’=  [“0”, “01”, “010”, “100”, “101”].  This list consists of the binary representation of numbers [0, 1, 2, 4, 5]. Clearly, the missing number is 3 and its binary representation will be “11”. So you should return string “11”.
Problem approach

There are many approach to solve this problem. Need to use the most optimized approach. First i told to use the sum of N terms formula to find it out. Then he asked me to use more optimized approach. So I told him another approach to use sum of N terms A.P. Formula using first and last digit of array.

You have been given two singly Linked Lists, where each of them represents a positive number without any leading zeros.

Your task is to add these two numbers and print the summation in the form of a linked list.

Example:
If the first linked list is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> NULL and the second linked list is 4 -> 5 -> NULL.

The two numbers represented by these two lists are 12345 and 45, respectively. So, adding these two numbers gives 12390. 

So, the linked list representation of this number is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 9 -> 0 -> NULL.
Problem approach

First I told using simple addition approach that we use to do sum of two numbers but then I told him more optimized approach as given in above link.
