@Rakowiecki You are right. The array prototype functions is powerful. If you interested on more information, you should check out the function of "map, filter and includes" in developer.mozilla.org site . Jay has shared the link. Thanks @jay.

#include <iostream> #include <array> #include <numeric> int main() { std::array<int, 4> arr = { 1, 2, 4, 5 }; int max = arr.back(); int min = arr.front(); int sum = std::accumulate(arr.begin(), arr.end(), 0); int actual = (((max*(max + 1)) / 2) - min + 1); std::cout << actual - sum; }

You didn't specify a language. In Python, this will tell you all numbers missing from an array between the lowest number and highest number nums=[1,3,5,7,9,11] hi=max(nums) low=min(nums) print([i for i in range(low,hi) if i not in nums])
