Find a missing element from array

We have two arrays A and B where B consists of all the elements that are present in A but one element is missing from the array B. From these two arrays, we have to find the missing element from the second array i.e from B. For this, we have calculated the sum of elements from both the arrays and subtract them. The result will be the missing element.

Here is the code:

import java.util.*;

class CompareArrays {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int[] A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
		int[] B = { 3, 1, 2, 5 };
		int i, n = 5, sum1 = 0, sum2 = 0;
		for (i = 0; i <= n - 1; i++) {
			sum1 = sum1 + A[i];
			if (i <= n - 2) {
				sum2 = sum2 + B[i];
			}
		}
		System.out.println("Missing Element is: " + (sum1 - sum2));
	}
}

Output:
