我认为这不需要任何复杂的数学方程和理论。下面是一个建议的到位和O(2n)时间复杂度的解决方案:

输入表格假设:

袋子里的数字# = n

缺失数字的数量= k

袋子里的数字由长度为n的数组表示

算法的输入数组长度= n

数组中缺失的条目(从袋子中取出的数字)将被数组中第一个元素的值替换。

如。最初袋子看起来像[2,9,3,7,8,6,4,5,1,10]。 如果4被取出，value 4将变成2(数组的第一个元素)。 因此，在取出4后，袋子将看起来像[2,9,3,7,8,6,2,5,1,10]

此解决方案的关键是在遍历数组时，通过对索引处的值求负来标记访问数的INDEX。

    IEnumerable<int> GetMissingNumbers(int[] arrayOfNumbers)
    {
        List<int> missingNumbers = new List<int>();
        int arrayLength = arrayOfNumbers.Length;

        //First Pass
        for (int i = 0; i < arrayLength; i++)
        {
            int index = Math.Abs(arrayOfNumbers[i]) - 1;
            if (index > -1)
            {
                arrayOfNumbers[index] = Math.Abs(arrayOfNumbers[index]) * -1; //Marking the visited indexes
            }
        }

        //Second Pass to get missing numbers
        for (int i = 0; i < arrayLength; i++)
        {                
            //If this index is unvisited, means this is a missing number
            if (arrayOfNumbers[i] > 0)
            {
                missingNumbers.Add(i + 1);
            }
        }

        return missingNumbers;
    }

这是个很简单的问题

void findMissing(){
    bool record[N] = {0};
    for(int i = 0; i < N; i++){
        record[bag[i]-1] = 1;
    }
    for(int i = 0; i < N; i++){
        if(!record[i]) cout << i+1 << endl;
    }
}

O(n)时间和空间复杂度

你可以通过阅读Muthukrishnan的几页-数据流算法:谜题1:寻找缺失的数字来找到它。它准确地显示了您正在寻找的泛化。也许这就是面试官读到的内容，也是他提出这些问题的原因。

还请参阅sdcvvc的直接相关答案，其中还包括伪代码(万岁!没有必要阅读那些棘手的数学公式:)(谢谢，干得好!)

这是一个解决方案，它不依赖于复杂的数学，如sdcvvc /Dimitris Andreou的答案，不像caf和Colonel Panic那样改变输入数组，也不像Chris Lercher, JeremyP和许多其他人那样使用巨大的bitset。基本上，我从Svalorzen /Gilad Deutch关于Q2的想法开始，将其推广到常见情况Qk，并在Java中实现，以证明算法是有效的。

这个想法

假设我们有一个任意区间I其中我们只知道它包含至少一个缺失的数。在一次遍历输入数组后，只查看来自I的数字，我们可以获得I中缺失数字的S和Q。我们通过每次遇到来自I的数字时简单地减去I的长度(以获得Q)，并通过每次将I中所有数字的预计算总和减去遇到的数字(以获得S)来实现这一点。

Now we look at S and Q. If Q = 1, it means that then I contains only one of the missing numbers, and this number is clearly S. We mark I as finished (it is called "unambiguous" in the program) and leave it out from further consideration. On the other hand, if Q > 1, we can calculate the average A = S / Q of missing numbers contained in I. As all numbers are distinct, at least one of such numbers is strictly less than A and at least one is strictly greater than A. Now we split I in A into two smaller intervals each of which contains at least one missing number. Note that it doesn't matter to which of the intervals we assign A in case it is an integer.

We make the next array pass calculating S and Q for each of the intervals separately (but in the same pass) and after that mark intervals with Q = 1 and split intervals with Q > 1. We continue this process until there are no new "ambiguous" intervals, i.e. we have nothing to split because each interval contains exactly one missing number (and we always know this number because we know S). We start out from the sole "whole range" interval containing all possible numbers (like [1..N] in the question).

时空复杂性分析

在过程停止之前，我们需要通过的总次数p永远不会大于缺失数k。不等式p <= k可以被严格证明。另一方面，也有一个经验上限p < log2N + 3，这对于k的大值是有用的。我们需要对输入数组的每个数字进行二进制搜索，以确定它所属的区间。这给时间复杂度增加了log k乘数。

总的来说，时间复杂度为O(N᛫min(k, log N)᛫log k).注意，对于较大的k，这明显优于sdcvvc/Dimitris Andreou的方法，即O(N᛫k)。

对于它的工作，该算法需要O(k)个额外的空间来存储最多k个间隔，这明显优于“bitset”解决方案中的O(N)。

Java实现

下面是一个实现上述算法的Java类。它总是返回一个由缺失数字组成的有序数组。除此之外，它不需要缺少的数字计算k，因为它在第一次传递中计算k。整个数字范围由minNumber和maxNumber参数给出(例如，问题中的第一个例子是1和100)。

public class MissingNumbers {
    private static class Interval {
        boolean ambiguous = true;
        final int begin;
        int quantity;
        long sum;

        Interval(int begin, int end) { // begin inclusive, end exclusive
            this.begin = begin;
            quantity = end - begin;
            sum = quantity * ((long)end - 1 + begin) / 2;
        }

        void exclude(int x) {
            quantity--;
            sum -= x;
        }
    }

    public static int[] find(int minNumber, int maxNumber, NumberBag inputBag) {
        Interval full = new Interval(minNumber, ++maxNumber);
        for (inputBag.startOver(); inputBag.hasNext();)
            full.exclude(inputBag.next());
        int missingCount = full.quantity;
        if (missingCount == 0)
            return new int[0];
        Interval[] intervals = new Interval[missingCount];
        intervals[0] = full;
        int[] dividers = new int[missingCount];

                    if (itv.quantity == 1) // number inside itv uniquely identified
                        itv.ambiguous = false;
                    else
                        intervalCount++; // itv will be split into two intervals
            }
            if (oldCount == intervalCount)
                break;
            int newIndex = intervalCount - 1;
            int end = maxNumber;
            for (int oldIndex = oldCount - 1; oldIndex >= 0; oldIndex--) {
                // newIndex always >= oldIndex

                if (itv.ambiguous) {
                    // split interval itv
                    // use floorDiv instead of / because input numbers can be negative
                    int mean = (int)Math.floorDiv(itv.sum, itv.quantity) + 1;
                    intervals[newIndex--] = new Interval(mean, end);
                    intervals[newIndex--] = new Interval(begin, mean);
                } else

                end = begin;
            }
            for (int i = 0; i < intervalCount; i++)
                dividers[i] = intervals[i].begin;
            for (inputBag.startOver(); inputBag.hasNext();) {
                int x = inputBag.next();
                // find the interval to which x belongs
                int i = java.util.Arrays.binarySearch(dividers, 0, intervalCount, x);
                if (i < 0)
                    i = -i - 2;
                Interval itv = intervals[i];
                if (itv.ambiguous)
                    itv.exclude(x);
            }
        }
        assert intervalCount == missingCount;
        for (int i = 0; i < intervalCount; i++)
            dividers[i] = (int)intervals[i].sum;
        return dividers;
    }
}

For fairness, this class receives input in form of NumberBag objects. NumberBag doesn't allow array modification and random access and also counts how many times the array was requested for sequential traversing. It is also more suitable for large array testing than Iterable<Integer> because it avoids boxing of primitive int values and allows wrapping a part of a large int[] for a convenient test preparation. It is not hard to replace, if desired, NumberBag by int[] or Iterable<Integer> type in the find signature, by changing two for-loops in it into foreach ones.

import java.util.*;

public abstract class NumberBag {
    private int passCount;

    public void startOver() {
        passCount++;
    }

    public final int getPassCount() {
        return passCount;
    }

    public abstract boolean hasNext();

    public abstract int next();

    // A lightweight version of Iterable<Integer> to avoid boxing of int
    public static NumberBag fromArray(int[] base, int fromIndex, int toIndex) {
        return new NumberBag() {
            int index = toIndex;

            public void startOver() {
                super.startOver();
                index = fromIndex;
            }

            public boolean hasNext() {
                return index < toIndex;
            }

            public int next() {
                if (index >= toIndex)
                    throw new NoSuchElementException();
                return base[index++];
            }
        };
    }

    public static NumberBag fromArray(int[] base) {
        return fromArray(base, 0, base.length);
    }

    public static NumberBag fromIterable(Iterable<Integer> base) {
        return new NumberBag() {
            Iterator<Integer> it;

            public void startOver() {
                super.startOver();
                it = base.iterator();
            }

            public boolean hasNext() {
                return it.hasNext();
            }

            public int next() {
                return it.next();
            }
        };
    }
}

测试

下面给出了演示这些类用法的简单示例。

import java.util.*;

public class SimpleTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] input = { 7, 1, 4, 9, 6, 2 };

        final int MAXN = 1_000;
        List<Integer> nonPrimes = new ArrayList<>();
        nonPrimes.add(1);
        int[] primes;
        int lastPrimeIndex = 0;
        while (true) {
            primes = MissingNumbers.find(1, MAXN, NumberBag.fromIterable(nonPrimes));
            int p = primes[lastPrimeIndex]; // guaranteed to be prime
            int q = p;
            for (int i = lastPrimeIndex++; i < primes.length; i++) {
                q = primes[i]; // not necessarily prime
                int pq = p * q;
                if (pq > MAXN)
                    break;
                nonPrimes.add(pq);
            }
            if (q == p)
                break;
        }
        System.out.format("%nSieve of Eratosthenes. %d primes up to %d found:%n",
                primes.length, MAXN);
        for (int i = 0; i < primes.length; i++)
            System.out.format(" %4d%s", primes[i], (i % 10) < 9 ? "" : "\n");
    }
}

在Ideone上试试吧

我已经阅读了所有30个答案，并找到了最简单的一个，即使用100位数组是最好的。但正如问题所说，我们不能使用大小为N的数组，我将使用O(1)空间复杂度和k次迭代，即O(NK)时间复杂度来解决这个问题。

为了让解释更简单，假设给了我从1到15的数字，其中两个少了，即9和14，但我不知道。让包看起来像这样:

,1,2,12,4,7,5,10,11,13,15,3,6 [8].

我们知道每个数字在内部都是以位的形式表示的。 对于16之前的数字，我们只需要4位。对于10^9之前的数字，我们将需要32位。但我们先关注4位然后再推广它。

现在，假设我们有从1到15的所有数字，那么在内部，我们会有这样的数字(如果我们把它们排序):

0001
0010
0011
0100
0101
0110
0111
1000
1001
1010
1011
1100
1101
1110
1111

但是现在少了两个数。所以我们的表示法看起来是这样的(为了理解，可以是任何顺序):

(2MSD|2LSD)
00|01
00|10
00|11
-----
01|00
01|01
01|10
01|11
-----
10|00
missing=(10|01) 
10|10
10|11
-----
11|00
11|01
missing=(11|10)
11|11

现在让我们创建一个大小为2的位数组，其中包含具有对应的两位最高位的数字的计数。即

= [__,__,__,__] 
   00,01,10,11

从左到右扫描袋子，填充上面的数组，使比特数组的每个bin都包含数字的计数。结果如下:

= [ 3, 4, 3, 3] 
   00,01,10,11

如果所有的数字都出现了，它看起来会是这样的:

= [ 3, 4, 4, 4] 
   00,01,10,11

因此，我们知道有两个数字缺失了:一个数字的最高两位有效位数是10，另一个数字的最高两位有效位数是11。现在再次扫描列表，并为下两位有效数字填写一个大小为2的位数组。这一次，只考虑前两位有效数字为10的元素。我们将有位数组为:

= [ 1, 0, 1, 1] 
   00,01,10,11

如果MSD=10的所有数字都存在，那么所有箱子中都有1个，但现在我们看到少了一个。因此，我们有MSD=10和LSD=01缺失的数字，即1001，即9。

类似地，如果我们再次扫描，但只考虑MSD=11的元素，我们得到MSD=11和LSD=10缺失，即1110，即14。

= [ 1, 0, 1, 1] 
   00,01,10,11

因此，我们可以在等量的空间中找到缺失的数字。我们可以推广到100 1000或10^9或任何一组数字。

试着找出从1到50的数的乘积:

令product, P1 = 1 × 2 × 3 × .............50

当你一个一个地把数提出来，把它们相乘，就得到乘积P2。但是这里少了两个数字，因此P2 < P1。

这两项的乘积，a x b = P1 - P2。

你已经知道这个和了，a + b = S1。

由上述两个方程，用二次方程求解a和b。A和b是你缺失的数。
