Problem

Given an integer array nums, return all values that appear more than once. Each duplicate value should appear only once in the output, and the output may be returned in any order.

Write a function that scans the array and identifies repeated values efficiently.

Formal Specification

  • Input: A list of integers nums
  • Output: A list of integers containing every value that occurs at least twice in nums
  • If no duplicates exist, return an empty list
  • The order of returned values does not matter

Constraints

  • 1 <= len(nums) <= 10^5
  • -10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
  • Each duplicate value should appear only once in the output
  • The output order may be arbitrary
