EasyPython

Problem

Given a list of integers, write an algorithm to find duplicates.

Return a list containing each duplicated value once, in the order that its repetition is first detected. The input is a list of integers, and the output is a list of integers. Implement def find_duplicates(nums): without modifying the input list.

Constraints

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 10^4
  • -10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
  • Return each duplicated value exactly once
  • Do not modify nums
