sumedh, your solution is good but dsha did not ask about it, if u read question carefully then notice term using constant memory or space but in your solution space complexity will be very high. Is there a way to find this element faster than O(n*log n) and with constant extra memory? so plz

if you know the range of the numbers don't you just have to create and array (of length k in your example) then iterate over the array and increment the corresponding element in the other array. Ie, int[] arrayValues = some array of a known range int[] arrayLookup = int[min_in_range -

Hi all, thanks for your thoughts. However, there is no additional info on the input data beyond what is stated in the original post. I feel that there is no solution with constant memory and linear time but the problem is, how to prove it? On Aug 17, 1:32 pm, Dondi Imperial [EMAIL PROTECTED]

hello Dondi, in ur solution, space complexity will be O(n) in worst case. but in my solution it will constant space with linear complexity. now think abt how to prove it if range is not known for numbers then can we achieve it or not? if not then prove it??? On 8/17/07, Dondi Imperial

A friend of mine has come up with an idea of proving that there is no linear time / constant memory solution by reducing the problem to a known problem for which there is no such solution (e.g. sorting). But there's no further ideas so far... On Aug 17, 4:11 pm, Vaibhav Jain [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello All , I am thinking this solution offered by me is some what accurate with constant space . Just put ur feed back on this. If you have any query ask me. int main(){ int a[]={1,2,2,3}; int count=sizeof(a)/sizeof(a[0]); printf(No.of elemenst:%d\n,count); fun(a,count); return 0; } fun(int
