Given an array of integers and an integer k, find out whether there are two distinct indices i and j in the array such that nums[i] = nums[j] and the difference between i and j is at most k.
Better idea is to maintain a hashset that contains at most k numbers
1 public class Solution { 2 public boolean containsNearbyDuplicate(int[] nums, int k) { 3 Set<Integer> set = new HashSet<Integer>(); 4 for(int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++){ 5 if(set.contains(nums[i])) return true; 6 set.add(nums[i]); 7 if(set.size()>k) set.remove(nums[i-k]); 8 } 9 return false; 10 } 11 }
