Contains Duplicate

Problem

Return true if at least one value occurs more than once.

Examples

Example 1

Input: [1,2,3,1]

Output: true

Example 2

Input: [1,2,3]

Output: false

Input and output use JSON-compatible values. For linked-list and tree questions, arrays represent the node structure as described above. Your code should implement solve(input).

How to solve Contains Duplicate

One approach is: Compare the array size with the size of a set. The reference code demonstrates this method. Compare the example and edge-case tests, then consider time and space usage.

Time and space complexity

Discuss the dominant operations and any additional data structures used by your implementation.
