            int[] arr = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 };

 

            int sum = 0,i;

below c program will find the missing number in the array.

the same logic can be implemented in the language you are interested.

another option is sort the array in ascending or descending order, keep increasing the array index and check for index number and value at that index are equal ( in c language index number == index number +1, as the index starts in C language from0), in case of not equal, you can print your missing number, in case c language, your index+1 is the missing number.

 

void main()

{

int array1[100], array2[100], flag;

// i assume array1 has got your data which need to be check for the missing number

for (int i=1; i<=100; i=i++)

     flag=0;

     

      for (int j=0; j<100; j++)

       {

           if ( array[j] ==i)

               flag=1;

        }

        if (flag !=1)

       {

          printf("missing number is %d", i); 

          break;

        }

}

This one is simple. 

1. You can calculate the sum of array using loop say sumOfArray

2. Calculate the sum of number from1 to100 using formula n*(n+1)/2 call it sum

3. missing number  = sum - sumOfArray

array int a; //contain the100 sort numbers

for(int i =1;i<100; i++){

   if(i != a[i-1]){

        System.out.println(i + " is the miss number");

        i =100;   

   }

}

Create a for loop that traverses all of the elements of the array. If one of them is 'null', then it is missing a value ;).

Here we go with the answer as furnished below:

Ans:

public class OneMissingNumber { /** * @param args */ public static void main(String[] args) { int[] arr = new int[99]; for (int x =0; x < arr.length; x++) if (x !=45){ //skip1 element6894+45 =6939 is skipped arr[x] = x +6894; } getMissing(arr); } static void getMissing(int a[]) { int arraySum =0; for (int x =0; x <99; x++) { arraySum += a[x]; } int realSum = (a[a.length -1] * (a[a.length -1] +1) /2); realSum -= (a[0] * (a[0] -1) /2); System.out.println("missing number is = "+(realSum - arraySum)); } }
