[hash table]697. Degree of an Array

697. Degree of an Array

Given a non-empty array of non-negative integers nums, the degree of this array is defined as the maximum frequency of any one of its elements.

Your task is to find the smallest possible length of a (contiguous) subarray of nums, that has the same degree as nums.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,2,3,1]
Output: 2
Explanation:
The input array has a degree of 2 because both elements 1 and 2 appear twice.
Of the subarrays that have the same degree:
[1, 2, 2, 3, 1], [1, 2, 2, 3], [2, 2, 3, 1], [1, 2, 2], [2, 2, 3], [2, 2]
The shortest length is 2. So return 2.
Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2,2,3,1,4,2]
Output: 6
Explanation:
The degree is 3 because the element 2 is repeated 3 times.
So [2,2,3,1,4,2] is the shortest subarray, therefore returning 6.

Constraints:

nums.length will be between 1 and 50,000.
nums[i] will be an integer between 0 and 49,999.

solution

，每一个数映射到一个长度为 33 的数组，数组中的三个元素分别代表这个数出现的次数、这个数在原数组中第一次出现的位置和这个数在原数组中最后一次出现的位置。当我们记录完所有信息后，我们需要遍历该哈希表，找到元素出现次数最多，且前后位置差最小的数。

class Solution {
public:
    int findShortestSubArray(vector<int>& nums) {
        unordered_map<int, vector<int>> mp;
        int n = nums.size();
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            if (mp.count(nums[i])) {
                mp[nums[i]][0]++;
                mp[nums[i]][2] = i;
            } else {
                mp[nums[i]] = {1, i, i};
            }
        }
        int maxNum = 0, minLen = 0;
        for (auto& [_, vec] : mp) {
            if (maxNum < vec[0]) {
                maxNum = vec[0];
                minLen = vec[2] - vec[1] + 1;
            } else if (maxNum == vec[0]) {
                if (minLen > vec[2] - vec[1] + 1) {
                    minLen = vec[2] - vec[1] + 1;
                }
            }
        }
        return minLen;
    }
};
