• https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/find-first-repeating-element-array-integers/
  • At first I advised her the brute power method of utilizing two nested loops [ O(n2)  TC ]
  • She requested me to optimize it. I then advised her in regards to the Hashing technique with Linear time complexity utilizing linear area. However she requested me to do it utilizing fixed area.
  • I then advised her the method of marking each ingredient as adverse. eg. for array ingredient j we’ll make arr[j] as -arr[j], so on this method, if a quantity repeats (let’s say okay) then arr[k] can be constructive and thus we’ll get our first repeating quantity. This makes use of linear time and no area however It solely works for constructive numbers. She was proud of the answer.
