Find the Missing Seat Number
The bus seats are numbered in order, but one number is skipped — that's where the ghost sits. 👻
You get the seat numbers in increasing order, going up by 1 each time except for a single gap. Print the missing number.
Example:
Input: nums = [4, 5, 6, 8, 9]
Output: 7
Every neighbor jumps by exactly 1 except 6 → 8, a jump of 2 — so the missing seat is 6 + 1 = 7.
