C Exercises: Find the missing number from a given array
Write a program in C to find the missing number in a given array. There are no duplicates in the list.
To solve the problem of finding the missing number in a given array of unique integers, you can implement a C program that utilizes mathematical formulas. Calculate the expected sum of the sequence up to the length of the array, then subtract the sum of the array's elements to find the missing number. This approach efficiently identifies the missing number without requiring additional space or complex algorithms.
