What approach you will follow?

There is an array of 100 integers.There is an integer 48 in the array which is now changed to "0".How you will find out that "0".What approach you will follow?

Plz. note :- It's an analytical question.
Don't write and code here.

Hmm... is this a trick question

"0" i.e. string zero. i.e. it is a pointer. So, you have replaced an integer of 48 by an address. Assuming this, you might see a huge value. Maybe this will help us find the replaced 48?? But, this is not a guarantee as we could have a huge integer value among the remaining 99 integers.

If you did not mean string zero, then I would ask if the elements were sorted. If it were, then I would search for the first 48 and searching until I hit a number greater than 48. If there are multiple 48s, just find the one that has been zeroed before we hit a number greater than 48.

Hey guys what i think is..
we can just sum up old array.. let it be x..
not sum up new array.. it will be y..
so if the diff is 48.. (x-y = 48)
then that element is 0..
if difference is something else.. say z..
then number is 48-z...
