Remove Duplicates from Sorted Array II

Remove Duplicates from Sorted Array II

Follow up for "Remove Duplicates":
What if duplicates are allowed at most twice?

For example,
Given sorted array A = [1,1,1,2,2,3],

Your function should return length = 5, and A is now [1,1,2,2,3].

 

class Solution {
public:
    int removeDuplicates(int a[], int n) {
       if(n==0) return 0;
       int idx = 0, count = 0 , i = 0;
       for ( i = 0; i < n ; i++) {
           if (i >0 && a[i] ==a[i-1]) {
               count++;
               if(count >= 3){
                   continue;
               }
           }
           else {
               count = 1;
           }
           a[idx++] = a[i];
       }
       return idx;
    }
};
