Tasks Details
Task description
A non-empty array A consisting of N integers is given.
A permutation is a sequence containing each element from 1 to N once, and only once.
For example, array A such that:
A[0] = 4 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 3 A[3] = 2is a permutation, but array A such that:
A[0] = 4 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 3is not a permutation, because value 2 is missing.
The goal is to check whether array A is a permutation.
Write a function:
class Solution { public int solution(int[] A); }
that, given an array A, returns 1 if array A is a permutation and 0 if it is not.
For example, given array A such that:
A[0] = 4 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 3 A[3] = 2the function should return 1.
Given array A such that:
A[0] = 4 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 3the function should return 0.
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..1,000,000,000].
