80. Remove Duplicates from Sorted Array II
Description
Follow up for “Remove Duplicates”:
What if duplicates are allowed at most twice?
Example
For example,
Given sorted array nums = [1,1,1,2,2,3],
Your function should return length = 5, with the first five elements of nums being 1, 1, 2, 2 and 3. It doesn’t matter what you leave beyond the new length.
Analysis
class Solution {
public:
int removeDuplicates(vector<int>& nums) {
int n = nums.size();
if(n < 2) return n;
int index = 2;
for (int i = 2; i < n; i++) {
if (nums[i] != nums[index - 2]) {
nums[index++] = nums[i];
}
}
return index;
}
};
