【Lintcode】1779. Shortest Duplicate Subarray

题目地址：

https://www.lintcode.com/problem/shortest-duplicate-subarray/description

给定一个数组$A$，返回其包含重复数字的最短子数组的长度。

用哈希表记录一下每个数字最新的出现位置即可。代码如下：

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class Solution {
    /**
     * @param A: The array you should find shortest subarray length which has duplicate elements.
     * @return: Return the shortest subarray length which has duplicate elements.
     */
    public int getLength(int[] A) {
        // Write your code here.
        Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
        int res = A.length + 1;
    
        for (int i = 0; i < A.length; i++) {
            if (map.containsKey(A[i])) {
                res = Math.min(res, i - map.get(A[i]) + 1);
            }
            
            map.put(A[i], i);
        }
        
        return res <= A.length ? res : -1;
    }
}

时空复杂度$O(l_A)$。
