Excerpt

Given a sorted array nums, remove the duplicates in-place such that each element appear only once and return the new length.

...

 Do not allocate extra space for another array, you must do this by modifying the input array in-place with O(1) extra memory.


Example 1:

Code Block
Given nums = [1,1,2],
Your function should return length = 2, with the first two elements of nums being 1 and 2 respectively.
It doesn't matter what you leave beyond the returned length.

...

Code Block
// nums is passed in by reference. (i.e., without making a copy)
int len = removeDuplicates(nums);
// any modification to nums in your function would be known by the caller.
// using the length returned by your function, it prints the first len elements.
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
	print(nums[i]);
}

...

Solution in C++

Code Block
class Solution {
public:
    int removeDuplicates(vector<int>& nums) {
        map<int,int> mp;
        for(int i=0; i<nums.size(); i++) {
            if (!mp[nums[i]]) {
                mp[nums[i]]=i;
                nums[ mp.size()-1] = nums[i];
            }
        }
        
        return mp.size();
    }
};

Solution in Java

Code Block
public int removeDuplicates(int[] nums) {
    if (nums.length == 0) return 0;
    int i = 0;
    for (int j = 1; j < nums.length; j++) {
        if (nums[j] != nums[i]) {
            i++;
            nums[i] = nums[j];
        }
    }
    return i + 1;
}
