We have a string of length m that contains first m letters of the English alphabets, but somehow, one element went missing from the string. So, now the string contains,
m-1 letters
We are required to write a function that takes in one such string and returns the missing element from the string
Example
Following is the code −
const str = "acdghfbekj"; const missingCharacter = str => { // to make the function more consistent const s = str.toLowerCase(); for(let i = 97; ; i++){ if(s.includes(String.fromCharCode(i))){ continue; }; return String.fromCharCode(i); }; return false; }; console.log(missingCharacter(str));
Output
Following is the output in the console −
i
