Daily: Find missing array value

/*
Good morning! Here's your coding interview problem for today.
This problem was asked by Stripe.
Given an array of integers, find the first missing positive integer in linear time and constant space. In other words, find the lowest positive integer that does not exist in the array. The array can contain duplicates and negative numbers as well.
For example, the input [3, 4, -1, 1] should give 2. The input [1, 2, 0] should give 3.
You can modify the input array in-place.
*/
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int calcMissing(int* input, int size)
{
int sum = 0;
int n = 1; //add one to account for missing value
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
if(input[i] > 0)
{
sum += input[i];
n++;
}
}
//If no numbers higher than 0, answer is 1
if(sum == 0)
return 1;
return (n*(n+1)/2) - sum; //Formula is expectedSum - actualSum
/* expectedSum = n*(n+1)/2, the formula for sum(1, n) */
}
int main()
{
cout << calcMissing(new int[4]{3, 4, -1, 1}, 4) << endl;
cout << calcMissing(new int[3]{1, 2, 0}, 3) << endl;
//No positive numbers
cout << calcMissing(new int[1]{0}, 1) << endl;
}

#include <iostream>

//Couple rules:
//Characters given through the getter functions have to be removed from the buffer.
//This is so that bufferEmpty() == buffer.in_avail() > 0 basically always.
//skipWhitespace doesn't remove the text from the buffer, but it does return the number of characters.
//nextWord will trim whitespace before the word
//nextInt will trim non-numbers before the number
//hasNextInt and hasNextWord will trim the whitespace. If you think you need it, you should get nextWhitespace before doing any of those.
//Whitespace after a word or an int is left on the buffer.
//nextWhitespace will (get and) remove whitespace until the end of the line, including the newline character, but stops before the next line.
//nextWhitespace won't read the next line when called before the end of the line, and it won't prompt the user for the next line if interactive.
//If nextWhitespace is called after reading the end of the line, then it will read a new line into the buffer, which will prompt the user.
//It acts like nextLine, but if there's something non-whitespace on the current line it stops there.
