Missing ranges: 

You are given an inclusive range [lower, upper] and a sorted unique integer array nums, where all elements are in the inclusive range. 

A number x is considered missing if x is in the range [lower, upper] and x is not in nums. 

Return the smallest sorted list of ranges that cover every missing number exactly. That is, no element of nums is in any of the ranges, and each missing number is in one of the ranges. 

Each range [a,b] in the list should be output as: 

"a->b" if a != b 

"a" if a == b 

  

Example 1: 

Input: nums = [0,1,3,50,75], lower = 0, upper = 99 

Output: ["2","4->49","51->74","76->99"] 

Explanation: The ranges are: 

[2,2] --> "2" 

[4,49] --> "4->49" 

[51,74] --> "51->74" 

[76,99] --> "76->99" 

Example 2: 

Input: nums = [-1], lower = -1, upper = -1 

Output: [] 

Explanation: There are no missing ranges since there are no missing numbers. 

  

Constraints: 

-109 <= lower <= upper <= 109 

0 <= nums.length <= 100 

lower <= nums[i] <= upper 

All the values of nums are unique. 

 


class Solution { 

    public List<String> missingRanges(int lower, int upper, int[] range) {

var result = new List<String>();

       int start = lower;

       String candidate = String.Empty;

       for (int i = 0; i < range.length; i++) {

           if (start != range[i]) {

               int end = range[i]-1;

               if (start == end) candidate = start;

               else candidate = start + “->” + end;

               result.add(candidate);

               candidate = “”;

                

           }

           start = range[i]+1;

    

       }

       if (start == upper) {

          result.add(start);

       }

       if (start < upper){

          result.add(start + “->” + upper); 

       }

return result;

    }
