Given an array of length N containing integers between 1 and N, determine if it contains any duplicates in O(n) time complexity and O(1) space complexity

Since we cannot use extra space, take advantage of the fact that the array has elements only from 1 to n
and there are n elements in the array(index ranges from 0 to n-1)
So if 1 occurs make value at 0th index negative
if 2 occurs make the value at 1st index negative
if n occurs make the value at n-1th index negative
So if the same number occurs again then the value at that number index will be found negative already and
voila !Thus we found a way finding repeating number.
Algorithm
traverse the list for i= 0 to n-1 elements
{
check for sign of A[abs(A[i])] ;
if positive then
make it negative by A[abs(A[i])]=-A[abs(A[i])];
else // i.e., A[abs(A[i])] is negative
this element (ith element of list) is a repetition
}
