Let Code Day 64 starting from zero "287. Find the Duplicate Number"

Overview

It seems that coding tests are conducted overseas in interviews with engineers, and in many cases, the main thing is to implement specific functions and classes according to the theme.

Apparently, many engineers take measures on the site called LetCode.

It is a site that trains the algorithmic power that can withstand the coding test that is being done in the early story, and it is an inevitable path for those who want to build a career at an overseas tech company.

I wrote it in a big way, but I have no plans to have such an interview at the moment.

However, as an IT engineer, it would be better to have the same level of algorithm power as a person, so I would like to solve the problem irregularly and write down the method I thought at that time as a memo.

Leetcode

I'm solving it with Python3.

problem

287. Find the Duplicate Number

The difficulty level is Medium. Excerpt from Top 100 Liked Questions.

The problem is, if given an array nums containing n + 1 integers where each integer is between 1 and n, prove that there must be at least one duplicate number. .. Design an algorithm that finds the number of duplicates, assuming that there is only one duplicate.

Example 1: Input: [1,3,4,2,2] Output: 2

Example 2: Input: [3,1,3,4,2] Output: 3

Note: Do not modify the array (assuming the array is read-only). Only the extra space of the constant O (1) must be used. The run-time complexity must be O (n2) or less. There is only one duplicate in the array, but it can be repeated multiple times.

solution

Don't overlook the fact that it's read-only and can't be sorted.

class Solution:
    def findDuplicate(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        low,high = nums[0],nums[nums[0]]
        while low != high:
            low,high = nums[low],nums[nums[high]]
        low = 0
        while low != high:
            low,high = nums[low],nums[high]
        return low
# Runtime: 64 ms, faster than 86.19% of Python3 online submissions for Find the Duplicate Number.
# Memory Usage: 16.4 MB, less than 35.59% of Python3 online submissions for Find the Duplicate Number.

Low is the answer by having each element with low and high and continuing to substitute the elements in nums by substituting 0 for low and repeating.

It may be a little unsatisfactory as a solution, but this time it is up to here. Thank you for your hard work.
