Single Number II


Single Number II

Given an array of integers, every element appears three times except for one. 
Find that single one.
Note:
Your algorithm should have a linear runtime complexity.
Could you implement it without using extra memory?

  1. Here is another solution
    public class Solution {
    public int singleNumber(int[] nums) {
    int p = 0;
    int q = 0;
    for(int i = 0; i<nums.length; i++){
    p = q & (p ^ nums[i]);
    q = p | (q ^ nums[i]);
    }
    return q;
    }
    }
