Daily JavaScript Challenge: Find the First Non-Consecutive Number

Hey fellow developers! đź‘‹ Welcome to today's JavaScript coding challenge. Let's keep those programming skills sharp!

The Challenge

Difficulty: Medium

Topic: Array Manipulation

Description

Create a function that takes an array of integers as an input and returns the first element in the array that is not consecutive. By consecutive, we mean that the number following one element should be exactly 1 greater than the current element. If the entire array is made up of consecutive numbers, return null.
