1748. Sum of Unique Elements
Description
You are given an integer array nums. The unique elements of an array are the elements that appear exactly once in the array.
Return the sum of all the unique elements of nums.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,2] Output: 4 Explanation: The unique elements are [1,3], and the sum is 4.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1,1,1,1,1] Output: 0 Explanation: There are no unique elements, and the sum is 0.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,5] Output: 15 Explanation: The unique elements are [1,2,3,4,5], and the sum is 15.
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 1001 <= nums[i] <= 100
Solutions
Solution 1
Thinking
Sum values that occur exactly once. Both the length and the values are at most \(100\), so count frequencies and add keys whose count is \(1\).

Solution 2
Thinking
Solution 1 counts fully then sums. With a tiny domain we can do it in one pass: add on the first sighting, subtract on the second, and ignore later ones.
