0697. Degree of an Array

https://leetcode.com/problems/degree-of-an-array

Description

Given a non-empty array of non-negative integers nums, the degree of this array is defined as the maximum frequency of any one of its elements.

Your task is to find the smallest possible length of a (contiguous) subarray of nums, that has the same degree as nums.

Example 1:

**Input:** nums = [1,2,2,3,1]
**Output:** 2
**Explanation:** 
The input array has a degree of 2 because both elements 1 and 2 appear twice.
Of the subarrays that have the same degree:
[1, 2, 2, 3, 1], [1, 2, 2, 3], [2, 2, 3, 1], [1, 2, 2], [2, 2, 3], [2, 2]
The shortest length is 2. So return 2.

Example 2:

**Input:** nums = [1,2,2,3,1,4,2]
**Output:** 6
**Explanation:** 
The degree is 3 because the element 2 is repeated 3 times.
So [2,2,3,1,4,2] is the shortest subarray, therefore returning 6.

Constraints:

  • nums.length will be between 1 and 50,000.

  • nums[i] will be an integer between 0 and 49,999.
