    def findDisappearedNumbers(self, nums):
        # create a list of all numbers from 1 to the length of nums
        full_list = [i for i in range(1, len(nums) + 1)]

        # create a set of numbers present in the nums list
        nums_set = set(nums)

        # return the numbers that are in the full list but not in the nums list
        return list(set(full_list) - nums_set)
