花花酱 LeetCode 1539. Kth Missing Positive Number

Given an array arr of positive integers sorted in a strictly increasing order, and an integer k.

Find the kth positive integer that is missing from this array.

Example 1:

Input: arr = [2,3,4,7,11], k = 5
Output: 9
Explanation: The missing positive integers are [1,5,6,8,9,10,12,13,...]. The 5th missing positive integer is 9.

Example 2:

Input: arr = [1,2,3,4], k = 2
Output: 6
Explanation: The missing positive integers are [5,6,7,...]. The 2nd missing positive integer is 6.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= arr.length <= 1000
  • 1 <= arr[i] <= 1000
  • 1 <= k <= 1000
  • arr[i] < arr[j] for 1 <= i < j <= arr.length

Solution 1: HashTable

Store all the elements into a hashtable, and check from 1 to max(arr).

Time complexity: O(max(arr)) ~ O(1000)
Space complexity: O(n)

C++

Solution 2: Binary Search

We can find the smallest index l using binary search, s.t.
arr[l] – l + 1 >= k
which means we missed at least k numbers at index l.
And the answer will be l + k.

Time complexity: O(logn)
Space complexity: O(1)

C++

Java

Python3
