Problem
In a array A of size 2N, there are N+1 unique elements, and exactly one of these elements is repeated N times.
Return the element repeated N times.
Example 1:
Input: [1,2,3,3]
Output: 3
Example 2:
Input: [2,1,2,5,3,2]
Output: 2
Example 3:
Input: [5,1,5,2,5,3,5,4]
Output: 5
Note:
4 <= A.length <= 10000
0 <= A[i] < 10000
A.length is even
Pre analysis
Given the conditions, will check whether a occurence had already been present before.
Another Solution
-
Use of
Setas Data Structure with above same logicvar repeatedNTimes = function(A) { const numSet = new Set(); for (let a of A) { if (numSet.has(a)) return a; numSet.add(a); } return null; };
