Two-Part Interview Question
December 18, 2015
Today we have a two-part interview question from Amazon:
First, find the first non-repeated element in an unsorted array. For instance, in the array [3, 5, 3, 2, 1], element 3 is repeated, elements 5, 2, and 1 are non-repeated, and the first of those is 5. Second, find the first element that appears an even number of times in an unsorted array. For instance, in the array [5, 3, 5, 1, 5, 1, 3], elements 1 and 3 appear an even number of times, and the first of those is 3.
Your task is to write programs that find the first non-repeated element and the first even-appearance elements in an unsorted input array. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
