Single number III

Leetcode 260 problem.

Given an integer array nums, in which exactly two elements appear only once and all the other elements appear exactly twice. Find the two elements that appear only once. You can return the answer in any order.

Go

Time complexity: $O(n)$ - n is a length of a number array
Auxiliary space: $O(1)$ - constant amount of space

func singleNumber(nums []int) []int {
    xor := 0

    for _, value := range nums {
        xor = xor ^ value
    }

    lastBit := xor & (-xor)
    uniqueNumbers := make([]int, 2)

    for _, value := range nums {

        if value & lastBit == 0 {
            uniqueNumbers[0] = uniqueNumbers[0] ^ value
        } else {
            uniqueNumbers[1] = uniqueNumbers[1] ^ value
        }
    }
    return uniqueNumbers
}
