Given a sorted array, 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 in place with constant memory.
For example,
Given input array A = [1,1,2]
,
Your function should return length = 2
, and A is now [1,2]
.
下面是正规通过leetcode的算法~~~思路写在注释里

int[] A={1,2,3,3,4,4,4,4,5,6,7};
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(A));
System.out.println(rd.removeDuplicates(A));
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(A));
}
public int removeDuplicates(int[] A) {
int len = A.length;
if(len <= 1){
return len;
}
int p = 0, q = 0;
while(q < len){
//如果前后相等,后面的指针往后移动
if(A[p] == A[q]){
//System.out.println("p:"+p+" q:"+q+" "+Arrays.toString(A));
q++;
}else{
//如果后面比前面大,把此时后面指针的值附到前一个值中的第二个(第一个一样的地方)比如题中就是5赋给第二个4
p++;
A[p] = A[q];
//System.out.println("p"+p+" q:"+q+" "+Arrays.toString(A));
q++;

}
return p+1;
/*
* below is the way of only returning the length after shortening

* HashMap<Integer,Integer> map= new HashMap<Integer,Integer>();
