268 Missing Number

Problem:

Given an array containing n distinct numbers taken from 0, 1, 2, ..., n, find the one that is missing from the array.

For example, Given nums = [0, 1, 3] return 2.

Note: Your algorithm should run in linear runtime complexity. Could you implement it using only constant extra space complexity?

Solutions:

public class Solution {
    public int missingNumber(int[] nums) {
        boolean[] app = new boolean[nums.length + 1];
        for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i ++) {
            app[nums[i]] = true;
        }
        for (int i = 0; i < app.length; i ++) {
            if (!app[i]) {
                return i;
            }
        }
        return 0;
    }
}
