::::warning
Could you implement a solution using only O(1) extra space complexity and O(n) runtime complexity?
::::
### Example 1:
- Input: `nums = [3,0,1]`
- Output: `2`
- Explanation: `n = 3` since there are `3` numbers, so all numbers are in the range `[0,3]`. `2` is the missing number in the range since it does not appear in `nums`.
### Example 2:
- Input: `nums = [0,1]`
- Output: `2`
- Explanation: `n = 2` since there are `2` numbers, so all numbers are in the range `[0,2]`. `2` is the missing number in the range since it does not appear in `nums`.
### Example 3:
- Input: `nums = [9,6,4,2,3,5,7,0,1]`
- Output: `8`
- Explanation: `n = 9` since there are `9` numbers, so all numbers are in the range `[0,9]`. `8` is the missing number in the range since it does not appear in `nums`.
### Constraints:
- `n == nums.length`
- `1 <= n <= 10^4`
- `0 <= nums[i] <= n`
- All the numbers of `nums` are unique.
## Solution
```js
/**
* @param {number[]} nums
* @return {number}
*/
var missingNumber = function(nums) {
const numSet = new Set(nums);
const expectedCount = nums.length + 1;
for (let i = 0; i < expectedCount; i++){
if(!numSet.has(i)){
return i;
}
}
return -1;
};
```
