Algorithms
Due to the fact that the array is sorted, each subsequent element is greater than the previous one by 1 and only one element is missing, we can use binary search, since before the missing int, all numbers in the sequence are equal to index + sequence[0], and everything after the missing int is greater than the expression index + sequence[0] by 1.
Thus, the array is divided into two halves by the point at which "the right element is greater than its real value, and the left element corresponds to its real value."
Due to binary search, the time complexity of the algorithm is O(log(n)), and due to the fact that the "correct" value can be calculated from the formula, there is no need to construct a range as in the previous solutions.
