217. Contains Duplicate

Easy


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.

 

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

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 105
  • -109 <= nums[i] <= 109




 class Solution:
    def containsDuplicate(self, nums: List[int]) -> bool:
        data_set = set(nums)
        if len(data_set)<len(nums):
            return True
        return False

Random Note


Need continuous some smaller/larger value? Use heap max or min as you need.
