Dropped Sensor Metric
You are given two lists of integers a and b representing sensor metrics. Each list contains unique integers and a ≠ b. One of the lists contains accurate sensor metrics but the other one is faulty. In the faulty list one number that wasn’t the last number was dropped and a fake value was appended to the end of the list. Return the number that was dropped.

Examples
Example 1
Input
- a =
[1, 2, 3] - b =
[2, 3, 5]
Output
- answer =
1
Explanation
The accurate metrics come from a = [1, 2, 3].
Example 2
Input
- a =
[5, 4, 2, 1, 6] - b =
[5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
Output
- answer =
3
Explanation
The accurate metrics come from b = [5, 4, 3, 2, 1].
