Detailed guide and Python implementation for the 'Sum of Two Integers' problem.

Problem Statement

Easy

Given two integers a and b, return the sum of the two integers without using the operators + and -.

Write a function getSum(a: int, b: int) -> int.

Constraints
  • -1000 <= a, b <= 1000

Examples

Example 1
Input
a = 1, b = 2
Output
3
Explanation

1 + 2 = 3

Example 2
Input
a = 2, b = 3
Output
5
Explanation

2 + 3 = 5

Need a Hint?
Consider using Bit Manipulation-specific data structures like sets or heaps.
Edge Cases to Watch
  • Empty input structures
  • Single element inputs
  • Large numerical bounds
