LeetCode in TypeScript

136. Single Number

Easy

Given a non-empty array of integers nums, every element appears twice except for one. Find that single one.

You must implement a solution with a linear runtime complexity and use only constant extra space.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,2,1]

Output: 1

Example 2:

Input: nums = [4,1,2,1,2]

Output: 4

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1]

Output: 1

Constraints:

Solution

function singleNumber(nums: number[]): number {
    let ans = 0
    for (let num of nums) {
        ans ^= num
    }
    return ans
}

export { singleNumber }
