Find the Missing Number
You are given a sorted list of consecutive integers with exactly one missing element. Your task is to identify the missing number. The list is provided in a single line with space-separated integers.
You can compute the expected sum of all integers in the complete range using the formula: $$ S_{expected} = \frac{(first + last) \times (n+1)}{2} $$, where first is the first integer in the list, last is the last integer, and n+1 is the total count of numbers if none were missing. The missing number can then be found as the difference between the expected sum and the sum of the given integers.
