Challenge Statement
- Given an integer array nums, return True if any value appears at least twice in the array and return False if every element is distinct.
- This challenge corresponds to LeetCode #217.
Constraints
1 <= len(nums) <= 105
-109 <= nums[i] <= 109
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1, 2, 3, 1]
Output: True
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1, 2, 3, 4]
Output: False
Example 3:
Input: nums = [1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 3, 2, 4, 2]
Output: True
Solution
Below is my solution and some test cases. This solution has a linear time complexity O(n) and a linear space complexity O(n), where n is the length of the input list nums.
