📝 Explanation:
All sequences follow a simple
counting-by-ones pattern (each number increases by 1). To find the missing number:
- If it's between two numbers, add or subtract 1.
- If it's before a number, subtract 1.
- If it's after a number, add 1.
This is a great exercise for understanding number order and counting patterns!
