# Contains Duplicate II in C++

C++Server Side ProgrammingProgramming

Suppose we have an array and an integer k, we have to check whether there are two distinct indices i and j in the array such that nums[i] = nums[j] and the absolute difference between i and j is at most k.

So, if the input is like [1,2,4,1] and k = 3, then the output will be True

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

• Define an array nn of pairs

• for initialize i := 0, when i − size of nums, update (increase i by 1), do −

• insert {nums[i], i} at the end of nn

• sort the array nn

• for initialize i := 1, when i < size of nn, update (increase i by 1), do −

• if first element of nn[i] is same as first element of nn[i - 1] and |second of nn[i] - second of nn[i - 1]|, then −

• return true

• return false

## Example

Let us see the following implementation to get a better understanding −

Live Demo

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
class Solution {
public:
bool containsNearbyDuplicate(vector<int>& nums, int k) {
vector<pair<int, int> > nn;
for (<) {
nn.push_back(make_pair(nums[i], i));
}
sort(nn.begin(), nn.end());
for (int i = 1; i < nn.size(); i++) {
if (nn[i].first == nn[i - 1].first and abs(nn[i].second - nn[i - 1].second) <= k)
return true;
}
return false;
}
};
main(){
Solution ob;
vector<int> v = {1,2,4,1};
cout << (ob.containsNearbyDuplicate(v, 3));
}

## Input

{1,2,4,1}
