find duplicate elements in array in java code example

Example 1: java array check duplicates

duplicates = false;

for(i = 0; i < zipcodeList.length; i++) {
	for(j = i + 1; k < zipcodeList.length; j++) {
  		if(j != i && zipcodeList[j] == zipcodeList[i]) {
   	  		duplicates = true;
		}
	}
}

Example 2: java find duplicates in array

package dto;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Map.Entry;
import java.util.Set;

/**
 * Java Program to find duplicate elements in an array. There are two straight
 * forward solution of this problem first, brute force way and second by using
 * HashSet data structure. A third solution, similar to second one is by using
 * hash table data structure e.g. HashMap to store count of each element and
 * print element with count 1.

Finding duplicate elements in array using brute force method
Duplicate elements from array using HashSet data structure
found a duplicate element in array : Java
Duplicate elements from array using hash table

Example 3: find repeated elements in array java

for (String name : names) {
     if (set.add(name) == false) {
        // your duplicate element
     }
}

Example 4: Find the duplicate in an array of N integers.

// 287. Find the Duplicate Number
// Medium

// Given an array nums containing n + 1 integers where each integer is between 1 and n (inclusive), prove that at least one duplicate number must exist. Assume that there is only one duplicate number, find the duplicate one.

// Example 1:

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

// Input: [3,1,3,4,2]
// Output: 3
// Note:

// You must not modify the array (assume the array is read only).
// You must use only constant, O(1) extra space.
// Your runtime complexity should be less than O(n2).
// There is only one duplicate number in the array, but it could be repeated more than once.

class Solution {
public:
    int findDuplicate(vector& nums) {
        int n=nums.size();
        int s=nums[0];
        int f=nums[nums[0]];
        while(s!=f) {
            s=nums[s];
            f=nums[nums[f]];

Example 6: java find duplicates in array

// Uses a set, which does not allow duplicates 

for (String name : names) 
{
     if (set.add(name) == false) 
     {
        // print name your duplicate element
     }
}
