firstDuplicate of array
$begingroup$
This question has been asked for other languages, but I haven't seen it for C++. Most notably here and here.
Given an array a that contains only numbers in the range from 1 to a.length, find the first duplicate number for which the second occurrence has the minimal index. In other words, if there are more than 1 duplicated numbers, return the number for which the second occurrence has a smaller index than the second occurrence of the other number does. If there are no such elements, return -1.
My tests are running correctly, but I'm getting a timeout from the website codesignalDotCom. I'm wondering what I'm doing that could be taking so much time, and what could be done to fix it.
int firstDuplicate(std::vector<int> a) {
std::vector<int> newVector;
std::cout << a.size() << std::endl;
for(int i = 0; i < a.size(); i++) {
if(std::find(newVector.begin(), newVector.end(), a.at(i)) != newVector.end()){
return a.at(i);
}
newVector.push_back(a.at(i));
}
return -1;
}
