Find sum of non-repeating (distinct) elements in an array

Given an integer array with repeated elements, the task is to find sum of all distinct elements in array.

Examples:

Input  : arr[] = {12, 10, 9, 45, 2, 10, 10, 45,10};
Output : 78
Here we take 12, 10, 9, 45, 2 for sum
because it's distinct elements 

Input : arr[] = {1, 10, 9, 4, 2, 10, 10, 45 , 4};
Output : 71

Recommended: Please solve it on “PRACTICE” first, before moving on to the solution.

A Simple Solution is to use two nested loops. The outer loop picks an element one by one starting from the leftmost element. The inner loop checks if the element is present on left side of it. If present, then ignores the element.

Time Complexity : O(n²)
Auxiliary Space : O(1)

A Better Solution of this problem is that using sorting technique we firstly sort all elements of array in ascending order and and find one by one distinct elements in array.

C++

// C++ Find the sum of all non-repeated 
// elements in an array 
#include<bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// Find the sum of all non-repeated elements 
// in an array 
int findSum(int arr[], int n) 
{ 
    // sort all elements of array 
    sort(arr, arr + n); 
  
    int sum = 0; 
    for (int i=0; i<n; i++) 
    { 
        if (arr[i] != arr[i+1]) 
            sum = sum + arr[i]; 
    } 
  
    return sum; 
} 
  
// Driver code 
int main() 
{ 
    int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 4, 5, 6}; 
    int n = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(int); 
    cout << findSum(arr, n); 
    return 0; 
} 

Java

import java.util.Arrays; 
  
// Java Find the sum of all non-repeated  
// elements in an array  
public class GFG { 
  
// Find the sum of all non-repeated elements  
// in an array  
    static int findSum(int arr[], int n) { 
        // sort all elements of array  
  
        Arrays.sort(arr); 
         
        int sum = arr[0]; 
        for (int i = 0; i < n-1; i++) { 
            if (arr[i] != arr[i + 1]) { 
                sum = sum + arr[i+1]; 
            } 
        } 
  
        return sum; 
    } 
  
// Driver code  
    public static void main(String[] args) { 
        int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 4, 5, 6}; 
        int n = arr.length; 
        System.out.println(findSum(arr, n)); 
  
    } 
}

def findSum(arr,  n):

    for i in range(0,n-1):

            sum = sum + arr[i+1] 
      
    return sum
   
# Driver code

    arr= [1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 4, 5, 6] 
    n = len(arr)

// C# Find the sum of all non-repeated  
// elements in an array  
using System; 
public class GFG {  
  
// Find the sum of all non-repeated elements

    static int findSum(int []arr, int n) {  
        // sort all elements of array  
  
        Array.Sort(arr);  
          
        int sum = arr[0];

            }

        return sum;  
    }  
  
// Driver code  
    public static void Main(){  
        int []arr = {1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 4, 5, 6};  
        int n = arr.Length;  
        Console.WriteLine(findSum(arr, n));  
  
    }  
}

An Efficient solution of this problem is that using unordered_set we run a single for loop and which value comes first time its add in sum variable and store in hash table that for next time we not use this value.

C++

// C++ Find the sum of all non- repeated 
// elements in an array 
#include<bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// Find the sum of all non-repeated elements 
// in an array 
int findSum(int arr[],int n) 
{ 
    int sum = 0; 
  
    // Hash to store all element of array 
    unordered_set< int > s; 
    for (int i=0; i<n; i++) 
    { 
        if (s.find(arr[i]) == s.end()) 
        { 
            sum += arr[i]; 
            s.insert(arr[i]); 
        } 
    } 
  
    return sum; 
} 
  
// Driver code 
int main() 
{ 
    int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 4, 5, 6}; 
    int n = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(int); 
    cout << findSum(arr, n); 
    return 0; 
}

    static int findSum(int arr[], int n)

        // Hash to store all element of array  
        HashSet<Integer> s = new HashSet<Integer>(); 
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) 
        { 
            if (!s.contains(arr[i])) 
            { 
                sum += arr[i]; 
                s.add(arr[i]);
