N-Repeated Element in Size 2N Array

Hazrat Ali

Leetcode

You are given an integer array nums with the following properties:

  • nums.length == 2 * n.
  • nums contains n + 1 unique values, n of which occur exactly once in the array.
  • Exactly one element of nums is repeated n times.

Return the element that is repeated n times.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,3]
Output: 3

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,1,2,5,3,2]
Output: 2

Example 3:

Input: nums = [5,1,5,2,5,3,5,4]
Output: 5

Solution
var repeatedNTimes = function(nums) {
    let seen = new Set();

    for (let num of nums) {
        if (seen.has(num)) {
            return num;  
        }
        seen.add(num);
    }
};
