Find the number occurring odd number of times

 March 30, 2013     Programming problems in CPP     No comments   

There is an array of numbers, where each number occurs even number of times except for one number which occurs odd number of times. Find out the number.

Approach: When you XOR a number even number of times, it becomes zero. So XOR all the numbers in the array, the result will be the number which occurred odd times.

C++ program to find the number occurring odd number of times

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

const int MAX_INPUT = 7;
int main()
{
    int input[MAX_INPUT] = { 123, 456, 123, 678, 985, 985, 678 };

    int output = 0;
    for(int i=0;i<MAX_INPUT;i++)
        output ^= input[i];
    cout << "Odd number out is: " << output << endl;
    return 0;
}
Output:-
Odd number out is: 456
