Single Number

Given a non-empty array of integers nums, every element appears twice except for one. Find that single one.

You must implement a solution with a linear runtime complexity and use only constant extra space.

class Solution:
    def singleNumber(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        xor = 0
        for num in nums:
            xor ^= num
        
        return xor
