Asked in companies
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.
Problem approach
1.) First i applied sorting and then iterating over array and find first missing number.
2.) Interviewer asked for optimisation.
3.) I used Hashset to solve this then.
