LeetCode: Kth Missing Positive Number Solution

Problem statement copy pasted from LeetCode as it is: 


Given an array arr of positive integers sorted in a strictly increasing order, and an integer k.

Find the kth positive integer that is missing from this array.

 

Example 1:

Input: arr = [2,3,4,7,11], k = 5
Output: 9
Explanation: The missing positive integers are [1,5,6,8,9,10,12,13,...]. The 5th missing positive integer is 9.

Example 2:

Input: arr = [1,2,3,4], k = 2
Output: 6
Explanation: The missing positive integers are [5,6,7,...]. The 2nd missing positive integer is 6.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= arr.length <= 1000
  • 1 <= arr[i] <= 1000
  • 1 <= k <= 1000
  • arr[i] < arr[j] for 1 <= i < j <= arr.length

My Solution:

package madwani.sushil.leetcode.Jan1_7_2021;

public class KthMissingPositiveNumber {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int arr[] = new int[] {1,2,4,5,6};
int k = 5;
System.out.println(findKthPositive(arr, 5));
}

public static int findKthPositive(int[] arr, int k) {
int index = 0;
for (int i =1, j =0; i <= arr[arr.length-1] && k >0; i++) {
index = i;
if (i == arr[j]) {
j++; continue;
}
k--;
}
return index + k;
}
}
