Single Number

Given a non-empty array of integers, every element appears twice except for one. Find that single one.

Note:

Your algorithm should have a linear runtime complexity. Could you implement it without using extra memory?

Example 1:

Input: [2,2,1]
Output: 1

Example 2:

Input: [4,1,2,1,2]
Output: 4
class Solution {
    public int singleNumber(int[] nums) {
        int x = nums[0];
        for (int i = 1; i < nums.length; i++) {
            x = x ^ nums[i];
        }
        return x;
    }
}
