Contains duplicate - using HashSet (optimized code)

 class Solution {

    public boolean containsDuplicate(int[] nums) {

        HashSet<Integer> seen = new HashSet<>();

        for(int i=0; i<nums.length; i++) {

            if(seen.contains(nums[i])) { // methods: add(), contains(), remove()

                return true;

            } else {

                seen.add(nums[i]);

            }

        }

        return false;

    }

}

Two Sum - optimized code (using HashMaps)

 public int[] twoSum(int[] nums, int target) {

    // Phase 2 Logic: HashMap

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

    for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {

        int complement = target - nums[i];

        if (map.containsKey(complement)) {

            // Success: Return [Old Index, Current Index]

            return new int[] { map.get(complement), i };

        }

        

        // Store: Key = Number, Value = Index

        map.put(nums[i], i);

    }

    return new int[] {}; // Fallback

}

Hash Map in Java!

 HashMap: Part of JCF & implements the Map interface.

- Stores element in key-value pairs.
- Keys are unique and values can be duplicated.

Template Literal in JavaScript

 1. Calculate total price using template literal.
let pencilPrice = 10;

let eraserPrice = 5;

// let output = "The total price is : " + (pencilPrice + eraserPrice) + " Rupees. ";

console.log(`The total price is : ${pencilPrice + eraserPrice} Rupees.`);
