Task 1 - Odd Number

You are given an array of positive integers, such that all the numbers appear even number of times except one number.

Write a script to find that integer.

Examples:

Input: @N = (2, 5, 4, 4, 5, 5, 2)
Output: 5 as it appears 3 times in the array where as all other numbers 2 and 4 appears exactly twice.

Input: @N = (1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1, 4, 4)
Output: 4

Raku

@nums holds the input and %seen is True if it's seen odd number of times. We loop over @nums and invert the value of that number in %seen.

my Bool %seen;
%seen{$_} = !%seen{$_} for @nums;
put %seen.grep(*.value).map(*.key);
