const findElementThatAppearsOnceInArray = (arr: number[]) => {
    const map: any = new Map();
 
    for (const x of arr) {
        map.set(x, (map.get(x) || 0) + 1);
    }
 
    for (const [key, value] of map) {
        if (value === 1) {
            return key;
        }
    }
 
    return -1;
};
 
const arr: number[] = [3, 5, 5, 2, 7, 3, 2, 8, 8, 3, 2, 5, 8];
