/*Given an array of non-duplicating numbers from 1 to n where
one number is missing, write an efficient java program to
find that missing number.
Idea is to find the sum of n natural numbers using the
formula and then finding the sum of numbers in the given array. Subtracting these two sums results in the number that is the actual missing number.*/

public static int findMissingNum(int[] array) {
