Sigiloso · Accepted Answer

sum on N numbers in (N*N+1)/2. Add all the numbers and find out how much it differs from this sum

Sigiloso · Answer

The worst answer in this case is an algorithm, the interviewer clearly did not ask for that. An important question to ask is whether they want the Position of the doubled integer or only its value. Possible solutions: sort (quick sort, radix-sort/K-sort), search, counting, Polynom, a[0]+a[1]+...a[101] - 0+1+2+99+100 = doubled integer.
