Task description
This is a demo task.
Write a function:
function solution(A);
that, given an array A of N integers, returns the smallest positive integer (greater than 0) that does not occur in A.
For example, given A = [1, 3, 6, 4, 1, 2], the function should return 5.
Given A = [1, 2, 3], the function should return 4.
Given A = [−1, −3], the function should return 1.
Write an efficient algorithm for the following assumptions:
N is an integer within the range [1..100,000];
each element of array A is an integer within the range [−1,000,000..1,000,000].
function solution(A) {
// write your code in JavaScript (Node.js 8.9.4)
const sortArr = [...new Set(A.filter(el => el > 0).sort((a, b) => a-b))]
if (sortArr.length === 0) return 1
let result = sortArr[sortArr.length - 1] + 1
for (let i=0; i<sortArr.length; i++) {
if (sortArr[i] !== i + 1) {
result = i + 1
break
}
}
return result
}
