Description:
Given an unsorted integer array, find the first missing positive integer.
For example,
Given [1,2,0]
return 3
,
and [3,4,-1,1]
return 2
.
Your algorithm should run in O(n) time and uses constant space.
Solution:
一开始只想到了正常的排序,但是后来发现有一种巧妙的想法,只要我们保证最后能够实现某种排序,排完之后的结果如下[1,2,3,x,5,6,x...]那么4即为我们所求。
实现这种排序,可以用桶排序,每个nums元素保证nums[i] - 1 = i即可。
注意,对于<=0和>n的元素可以不予考虑,另外如果有两个同样的元素,那么进行一些特判。

break;
swap(nums, i, nums[i] - 1);

return i + 1;
