Answer / karan verma

Above method will be most efficient in terms of time
complexity that is O(n).
If we desire space complexity O(1)

--> sort the two lists O(nlogn)
--> find the missing no. O(n)

O(n+nlogn)=O(nlogn)
space complexity=O(1)

There is a lucky draw held every day. if there is a winning number eg 1876,then all possible numbers like 1867,1687,1768 etc are the numbers that match irrespective of the position of the digit. Thus all these numbers qualify fr the lucky draw prize Assume there is no zero digit in any numbers. write a program to show all the possible winning numbers if a "winning number"is passed as an arguments to the function.
