/********************************************************************************** 
* 
* Given an unsorted integer array, find the first missing positive integer.
* 
* For example,
* Given [1,2,0] return 3,
* and [3,4,-1,1] return 2.
* 
* Your algorithm should run in O(n) time and uses constant space.
* 
*

/*
 *  Idea:
 * 
 *    We can move the num to the place whcih the index is the num. 
 *   
 *    for example,  (considering the array is zero-based.
 *       1 => A[0], 2 => A[1], 3=>A[2]
 *   
 *    Then, we can go through the array check the i+1 == A[i], if not ,just return i+1;
 *   
 *    This solution comes from StackOverflow.com

/*
 *    The idea is simple: 
 *
 *    1) put all of number into a map.
 *    2) for each number a[i] in array, remove its continous number in the map
 *        2.1)  remove ... a[i]-3, a[i]-2, a[i]-1, a[i]
 *        2.2)  remove a[i]+1, a[i]+2, a[i]+3,...
 *    3) during the removeing process, if some number cannot be found, which means it's missed.
 *
 *    considering a case [-2, -1, 4,5,6], 
 *        [-2, -1] => missed 0
 *        [4,5,6]  => missed 3
 *
 *    However, we missed 1, so, we have to add dummy number 0 whatever.
 *
 *    NOTE: this solution is not constant space slution!!!!
