Given an array of n-2 unique numbers in range 1 to n (inclusive). I want to find the missing two numbers in the array using xor. Please help me providing the idea. Thanks in advance.

May I wrong...
Maximum you may get : xor of missing two numbers. But xor of different numbers may be equal. See http://rextester.com/BBMAI41221 , so I think that you cannot find this two numbers from XOR operation.
Let your's missing numbers 2*m , and 2*m + 1, but for any m : (2*m) XOR (2*m+1) = 1. How you can find they??
Why you do not use simplist way:
bool visit[n]
array )) ? It's O(n) algo, and O(n) memory.
