Smallest missing non-negative integer upto every array index

0 0 5 minutes read

Given an array arr[] of size N, the task is for every array indices is to find the smallest missing non-negative integer upto that index of the given array.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {1, 3, 0, 2}
Output: 0 0 2 4
Explanation:
Smallest missing non-negative integer from index 0 to 0 is 0.
Smallest missing non-negative integer from index 0 to 1 is 0.
Smallest missing non-negative integer from index 0 to 2 is 2.
Smallest missing non-negative integer from index 0 to 3 is 4.

Input: arr[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 5}
Output: 1 2 3 4 4

Approach: This problem can be solved using Hashing. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

Initialize a variable, say smNonNeg to store the smallest missing non-negative integers between the start index and the current index of the given array.
Initialize an array, say hash[N] to check if smNonNeg present between the start index and the current index or not.
Traverse the given array and check if hash[smNonNeg] equal to 0 or not. If found to be true, then print the value of smNonNeg.
Otherwise, increment the value of smNonNeg while hash[smNonNeg] not equal to 0.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to implement
// the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to print the smallest
// missing non-negative integer
// up to every array indices
void smlstNonNeg(int arr[], int N)
{
    // Stores the smallest missing
    // non-negative integers between
    // start index to current index
    int smNonNeg = 0;
 
    // Store the boolean value to check
    // smNonNeg present between start
    // index to each index of the array
    bool hash[N + 1] = { 0 };
 
    // Traverse the array
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
 
        // Since output always lies
        // in the range[0, N - 1]
        if (arr[i] >= 0 and arr[i] < N) {
            hash[arr[i]] = true;
        }
 
        // Check if smNonNeg is
        // present between start index
        // and current index or not
        while (hash[smNonNeg]) {
            smNonNeg++;
        }
 
        // Print smallest missing
        // non-negative integer
        cout << smNonNeg << " ";
    }
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 };
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    smlstNonNeg(arr, N);
}
