Check for missing number in sequence
var list = new List<int>(new[] { 1, 2, 4, 7, 9 });
var result = Enumerable.Range(0, 10).Except(list);
Using Unity i have tested two solutions on set of million integers. Looks like using Dictionary and two "for" loops gives better result than Enumerable.Except
FindMissing1 Total time: 0.1420 (Enumerable.Except)
FindMissing2 Total time: 0.0621 (Dictionary and two for loops)
public static class ArrayExtension
{
public static T[] FindMissing1<T>(T[] range, T[] values)
{
List<T> result = Enumerable.Except<T>(range, values).ToList<T>();
return result.ToArray<T>();
}
public static T[] FindMissing2<T>(T[] range, T[] values)
{
List<T> result = new List<T>();
Dictionary<T, T> hash = new Dictionary<T, T>(values.Length);
for (int i = 0; i < values.Length; i++)
hash.Add(values[i], values[i]);
for (int i = 0; i < range.Length; i++)
{
if (!hash.ContainsKey(range[i]))
result.Add(range[i]);
}
return result.ToArray<T>();
}
}
public class ArrayManipulationTest : MonoBehaviour
{
void Start()
{
int rangeLength = 1000000;
int[] range = Enumerable.Range(0, rangeLength).ToArray();
int[] values = new int[rangeLength / 5];
int[] missing;
float start;
float duration;
for (int i = 0; i < rangeLength / 5; i ++)
values[i] = i * 5;
start = Time.realtimeSinceStartup;
missing = ArrayExtension.FindMissing1<int>(range, values);
duration = Time.realtimeSinceStartup - start;
Debug.Log($"FindMissing1 Total time: {duration:0.0000}");
start = Time.realtimeSinceStartup;
missing = ArrayExtension.FindMissing2<int>(range, values);
duration = Time.realtimeSinceStartup - start;
Debug.Log($"FindMissing2 Total time: {duration:0.0000}");
}
}
Turn the range you want to check into a HashSet:
public IEnumerable<int> FindMissing(IEnumerable<int> values)
{
HashSet<int> myRange = new HashSet<int>(Enumerable.Range(0,10));
myRange.ExceptWith(values);
return myRange;
}
Will return the values that aren't in values
.
List<int> selectedNumbers = new List<int>(){8, 5, 3, 12, 2};
int firstNumber = selectedNumbers.OrderBy(i => i).First();
int lastNumber = selectedNumbers.OrderBy(i => i).Last();
List<int> allNumbers = Enumerable.Range(firstNumber, lastNumber - firstNumber + 1).ToList();
List<int> missingNumbers = allNumbers.Except(selectedNumbers).ToList();
foreach (int i in missingNumbers)
{
Response.Write(i);
}
