Good Solution For 440A
By kalimm, 10 years ago, In English

Hi everyone! I have a solution for 440A, and I want to share it.

FOR(i,1,n-1)
    {
        cin >> x;

        t^=x;
        t^=i;
    }

    t^=n;

    cout << t << endl;

The proof is,

x xor x = 0

Make xor to all elements in array, and make xor all number 1 to n. The value is our answer. Because if one number is xor twice, number doesn't change anything.

Sorry for my poor English...
