I always look at different ways to solve a problem or find a solution. A step-by-step process is a simple solution that I use to find a missing number in an integer array. Let me demonstrate:

Step 1: Create an array with a number like 10001 with all zeros
Step 2: Decrease the value corresponding to the input value (A). An example would be if we have a value of 200, we will decrease that value.
Step 3: Read list (B) value and increase that value. At this point, the elements of list A would be lost, resulting in the array having performed this operating will then be positive.
Step 4: Print all the indexes of the array with a value greater than the number 0.
