Find missing integer problem

Problem : G iven an array of size 99 which has integers from 1 to 100 and with no integer being repeated, can you find the integer which is not in the array ? There are many differeny ways of solving this problem. The most efficient solution is to just find the difference between the sum of all integers from 1 to 100 and the sum of all integers in the array. This algorithm has a running complexity of  O (n)  and a space complexity of  O (1)  since it just needs 2 variables to store the sums . Here is the code for this -   /**      * This will find the missing integer in the given array of size 99.      *      * The array has integers between 1 and 100 with one integer      * missing.      *      * @param array - Array of integers b/w 1 and 100 of size 99.      * @return int - the missing integer number.      */     public static int findMissingInteger(int[] array)     {         int sum = 0;          // This has the complexity of O (n)         for (int i = 0; i         {             sum...
