Using the array iteration

This approach involves iterating through the array and checking for the missing number. It is suitable when there are multiple missing numbers, but it is less efficient compared to the mathematical formula for finding a single missing number.

  • Create a new Set which is containing numbers from 1 to 100.
  • Iterate through the array and remove each element from the set
  • After the iteration, you will get the missing number because that number is not found in the set. Then return the number.

Syntax:

function missingNumber(arr) {
for (let i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
// code...
}
}

Example: In this example, we are using the above-explained approach.

Javascript
function findMissingNumber(arr) {
    const n = 100;
    const allNumbers =
        new Set(Array.from({ length: n }, (_, i) => i + 1));

    for (const num of arr) {
        allNumbers.delete(num);
    }

    // At this point, the 'allNumbers' 
    //set contains only the missing number(s).
    const missingNumbers = Array.from(allNumbers);
    return missingNumbers;
}

// Remove 66 value from this array
const array = [
    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
    11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,
    21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30,
    31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40,
    41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50,
    51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60,
    61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 67, 68, 69, 70,
    71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80,
    81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90,
    91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100
];
const missingNumber = findMissingNumber(array);
console.log("Missing number is:", missingNumber);

Output
Missing number is: [ 66 ]

JavaScript Program to Find the Missing Number in a Given Integer Array of 1 to 100

In this article, we are going to find the missing number in a given integer array of 1 to 100 in JavaScript, Given an array [] of size 100 with integers in the range of [1, 100], There are no duplicate values in the array and no larger value than the size of the array. The task is to print that which is missing value in the array.

Let’s take an example:

Input: arr[] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, /* Missing number */,12, /* ... */, 100];  Size of an array is 100
Output: 11
Explanation: The missing number between 1 to 100 is 11

There are several methods that can be used to find the missing number in a given integer array of 1 to 100 in JavaScript, which are listed below:
