219. Contains Duplicate II

Easy


Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return true if there are two distinct indices i and j in the array such that nums[i] == nums[j] and abs(i - j) <= k.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,1], k = 3
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,0,1,1], k = 1
Output: true

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,1,2,3], k = 2
Output: false

 

Constraints:

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




 class Solution:
    def containsNearbyDuplicate(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> bool:

        hashmap = {}

        for i, num in enumerate(nums):
            if not num in hashmap:
                hashmap[num] = i
            else:
                saved_index = hashmap[num]
                if abs(i-saved_index) <=k:
                    return True
                else:
                    hashmap[num] = i
        return False
