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)

Answer / raghuram.a

Use a hash table for storing the no.s of 1st list.
now using hash function check whether there is a no. of 2nd
list in the 1st list.(no. of comparisons=no. of elements in
the list!!efficient?)

I need your help, i need a Turbo C code for this problem.. hope u'll help me guys.? Your program will have a 3x3 array. The user will input the sum of each row and each column. Then the user will input 3 values and store them anywhere, or any location or index, temporarily in the array. Your program will supply the remaining six (6) values and determine the exact location of each value in the array. Example: Input: Sum of row 1: 6 Sum of row 2: 15 Sum of row 3: 24 Sum of column 1: 12 Sum of column 2: 15 Sum of column 3: 18 Value 1: 3 Value 2: 5 Value 3: 6 Output: Sum of Row 1 2 3 6 4 5 6 15 7 8 9 24 Sum of Column 12 15 18 Note: Your program will not necessary sort the walues in the array Thanks..
