Solving an Array Duplicate Problem

EasyPython

Problem

Provide a solution to a common coding challenge, such as finding duplicates in an array. Implement find_duplicates(nums), returning each duplicated value exactly once, in the order it is first detected as a duplicate. Return an empty list when no value appears more than once. Input is a list of integers, and output is a list of integers.

Constraints

  • 0 <= nums.length <= 10^4
  • -10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
  • Return each duplicated value exactly once
  • Preserve duplicate-detection order

Function Signature
