To find the missing number in a sequence using VBScript, you can first calculate the expected sum of the complete sequence using the formula for the sum of the first n natural numbers (n * (n + 1) / 2). Then, iterate through the provided sequence to compute the actual sum. The missing number can be found by subtracting the actual sum from the expected sum. Here's a simple example:

<code class="language-vbscript">Dim n, expectedSum, actualSum, missingNumber

n = 10 ' example for the first 10 natural numbers expectedSum = n * (n + 1) / 2

' Assuming arr is the array containing the sequence with one missing number Dim arr arr = Array(1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) ' 3 is missing actualSum = 0 For Each num In arr actualSum = actualSum + num Next

missingNumber = expectedSum - actualSum MsgBox "The missing number is " & missingNumber
