Single Number Problem Solved with JavaScript Bit Manipulation

🚀 LeetCode Problem Solved – Single Number Solved the Single Number problem on LeetCode using JavaScript with an optimized bit manipulation approach. 📌 Problem Statement Given an array where every element appears twice except for one, the task is to find the element that appears only once. 💡 Approach Instead of using extra space like hash maps, I used the XOR trick. Key properties of XOR: • a ^ a = 0 (same numbers cancel each other) • a ^ 0 = a (XOR with zero keeps the number unchanged) By XORing all elements in the array: Duplicate numbers cancel out The unique number remains as the final result ⚡ Complexity 🔹 Time Complexity: O(n) – Traverse the array once 🔹 Space Complexity: O(1) – No extra data structures used #leetcode #javascript #dsa #bitmanipulation #codingpractice #softwareengineering #algorithms
