"abba" as goel pointed out.. is the answer 'b' or 'a' .. ie does the order in which u encounter the character matters.. 'a' comes before 'b' here...
if it is 'b' then a normal buf[txt[i]-'a']++ should do.. :) On Wed, Jun 8, 2011 at 8:48 AM, Shivaji Varma <shivaji...@gmail.com> wrote: > This problem of finding first non-repeating element in an array is > different from finding the first non-repeating character in a string.
