Given an array of integers and an integer k, find out whether there are two distinct indices i and j in the array such that nums[i] = nums[j] and the absolute difference between i and j is at most k.

Contains Duplicates Ii Solution

class ContainsDuplicatesII {
    public boolean containsNearbyDuplicate(int[] nums, int k) {
        HashMap<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
        for(int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
            int current = nums[i];
            if(map.containsKey(current) && i - map.get(current) <= k) {
                return true;
            } else {
                map.put(current, i);
            }
        }

        return false;
    }
}
