## Problem Description
19
+
20
+
You are given two arrays of equal length, `nums1` and `nums2`.
21
+
22
+
Each element in `nums1` has been increased (or decreased in the case of negative) by an integer, represented by the variable `x`.
23
+
24
+
As a result, `nums1` becomes equal to `nums2`. Two arrays are considered equal when they contain the same integers with the same frequencies.
- **Explanation:** The integer added to each element of `nums1` is `0`.
45
+
46
+
### Constraints
47
+
48
+
- `1 <= nums1.length == nums2.length <= 100`
49
+
- `0 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 1000`
50
+
- The test cases are generated in a way that there is an integer `x` such that `nums1` can become equal to `nums2` by adding `x` to each element of `nums1`.
51
+
52
+
## Approach
53
+
54
+
To find the integer `x` that was added to each element of `nums1` to obtain `nums2`, we can use the following approach:
55
+
56
+
1. Iterate through the arrays `nums1` and `nums2`.
57
+
2. Calculate the difference `x` for the first pair of elements from `nums1` and `nums2`.
58
+
3. Ensure that the calculated `x` is consistent for all elements.
59
+
60
+
### Solution Code
61
+
62
+
#### Python
63
+
64
+
```python
65
+
def find_integer_added_to_array(nums1, nums2):
66
+
if len(nums1) != len(nums2):
67
+
return None # Inconsistent input lengths
68
+
69
+
x = nums2[0] - nums1[0]
70
+
71
+
for i in range(1, len(nums1)):
72
+
if nums2[i] - nums1[i] != x:
73
+
return None # Inconsistent difference found
74
+
75
+
return x
76
+
```
77
+
78
+
#### C++
79
+
80
+
```c++
81
+
#include <vector>
82
+
#include <iostream>
83
+
using namespace std;
84
+
85
+
class Solution {
86
+
public:
87
+
int findIntegerAddedToArray(vector<int>& nums1, vector<int>& nums2) {
88
+
if (nums1.size() != nums2.size()) {
89
+
return INT_MIN; // Inconsistent input lengths
90
+
}
91
+
92
+
int x = nums2[0] - nums1[0];
93
+
94
+
for (size_t i = 1; i < nums1.size(); ++i) {
95
+
if (nums2[i] - nums1[i] != x) {
96
+
return INT_MIN; // Inconsistent difference found
97
+
}
98
+
}
99
+
100
+
return x;
101
+
}
102
+
};
103
+
104
+
```
105
+
106
+
#### Java
107
+
108
+
```java
109
+
class Solution {
110
+
public Integer findIntegerAddedToArray(int[] nums1, int[] nums2) {
111
+
if (nums1.length != nums2.length) {
112
+
return null; // Inconsistent input lengths
113
+
}
114
+
115
+
int x = nums2[0] - nums1[0];
116
+
117
+
for (int i = 1; i < nums1.length; i++) {
118
+
if (nums2[i] - nums1[i] != x) {
119
+
return null; // Inconsistent difference found
120
+
}
121
+
}
122
+
123
+
return x;
124
+
}
125
+
```
126
+
#### Conclusion
127
+
The above solutions determine the integer x that was added to each element of nums1 to obtain nums2.
128
+
By ensuring consistency across the entire array, we validate the difference and return the result.
129
+
Adjustments for different languages and edge cases ensure robustness across various inputs.
