* MISSING INTEGER | |
* --- | |
* Write a function: | |
* function solution(A); | |
* that, given an array A of N integers, returns the smallest positive integer (greater than 0) that does not occur in A. | |
* For example, given A = [1, 3, 6, 4, 1, 2], the function should return 5. | |
* Given A = [1, 2, 3], the function should return 4. | |
* Given A = [−1, −3], the function should return 1. | |
* | |
* 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 [−1,000,000..1,000,000]. | |
