\nThis is the bruteforce approach.\n\nTime:O(n^2)\nSpace:O(1)\n```python\nclass Solution:\n def numIdenticalPairs(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:\n n = len(nums)\n res = 0 \n for i in range(n):\n for j in range(i+1,n):\n if nums[i] == nums[j]:\n res+=1\n return res\n```\n\nThis is the optimal solution which stores the {number,[list of indices of occurence of number]} as an event.\nThen find the number of number of pairs from each event.\nTime:O(n) | Space:O(n)\n\n```python\nclass Solution:\n def numIdenticalPairs(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:\n n = len(nums)\n events = collections.defaultdict(list)\n for idx,num in enumerate(nums):\n events[num].append(idx)\n count = lambda x:x*(x-1)//2 if x>1 else 0\n res = 0 \n for event in events:\n indices = events[event]\n length = len(indices)\n ans = count(length)\n res+=ans\n return res\n```\n\nThis is very critical in the interview setting.Dont get satisfied after proposing the first solution.I mean anyone could do the first\nsolution and its pretty naive.Discuss all possible approaches with their Time and space complexities.If you observe,its a tradeoff with memory\nand optimising time in the second solution. In eitherway,both solution are good and we need to choose according to the situation based on time,memory constraints.\n\nThanks for your time :)

If it exists (meaning it\'s not equal to map.end()), this means that there are previous occurrences of this element in the vector.\nCount identical pairs:\n\nIf the current element exists in the map, the code increments the count c by the value associated with that element in the map. This is because each time a new occurrence of the same element is encountered, it forms a pair with all the previous occurrences, so the count is increased by the number of previous occurrences.\nUpdate the frequency in the map:\n\nAfter counting the pairs for the current element, the code increments the frequency of the current element in the map by 1. This is done to keep track of how many times this element has been encountered so far.\nContinue the loop:\n\nThe loop continues to the next element in the input vector, repeating steps 3-5 for each element.\nReturn the count \n\n# Complexity\n- Time complexity:O(N)\n<!-- Add your time complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\n\n- Space complexity:O(N)\n<!-- Add your space complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\n\n# Code\n```\nclass Solution {\npublic:\n int numIdenticalPairs(vector<int>& a) {\n int i,c=0;\n\n unordered_map<int,int>map;\n\n for(i=0;i<a.size();i++){\n if(map.find(a[i])!=map.end())\n c+=map[a[i]];\n \n map[a[i]]++;\n }\n return c;\n }\n};\n```

The solution to this problem uses a small math formula and a hash table. The following is the approach I used,\n\n1. Build a dictionary to store the array items as keys and the value is a list of indices where this element appears. Ex: nums = [1,2,1,1]. d = { 1: [0,2,3], 2: [1]}. As I am iterating through the array linearly, this automatically guarantees i < j.\n2. In this dicitionary check for the presence of lists whose length is greater than 1, which means the element repeats. In those cases, it is the number of pairs we can form with the elements of that list incrementally. Say the lenght of a list is n, this is equivalent to summing up the numbers upto n-1. \n3. Using Gauss\'s trick, sum of numbers upto n, is n(n+1) / 2. Modifying it slightly for n-1, it is (n-1)n / 2. Add this for each list whose length is greater than 1 to the answer variable. Ex: consider the dictionary d = { 1: [0,2,3], 2: [1]}, for this list 1 has 3 elements, so we add (3-1) * 3 / 2 = 3 to the answer.\n\nFollowing code implements it.\n\n```\nclass Solution:\n def numIdenticalPairs(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:\n ans = 0\n d = defaultdict(list)\n for i in range(len(nums)):\n d[nums[i]].append(i)\n # print(d)\n for k,v in d.items():\n n = len(v)\n # print(n)\n if n > 1:\n ans += ((n-1) * n) // 2\n return ans\n```\n\nWhile this is faster than 99.48% python 3 solutions, it doesn\'t perform that well on space. Any suggestions are appreciated.

# Intuition\n<!-- Describe your first thoughts on how to solve this problem. -->\nThe intuition behind this code is to count the number of good pairs in the given array nums. A good pair consists of two elements with the same value, and the goal is to efficiently find and count these pairs.\n\n---\n\n# Approach\n<!-- Describe your approach to solving the problem. -->\nIn this solution, we consider numbers in the range from 1 to 100 due to the problem\'s constraints. We use an array count to track the counts of each number, initialize goodPairs to count good pairs, and iterate through nums. For each num, we add its current count to goodPairs and increment its count in count. The result is the total count of good pairs in the array.\n\n---\n\n# Complexity\n- Time complexity:\n<!-- Add your time complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\nThe time complexity of this code is O(N), where N is the length of the nums array. We iterate through the array once to count the good pairs efficiently.\n- Space complexity:\n<!-- Add your space complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\nThe space complexity of this code is O(1), as the size of the count array is fixed and independent of the input size. It only depends on the given constraint that numbers in the array are in the range from 1 to 100. This makes the solution very memory-efficient.\n\n---\n\n# Code\n```\nclass Solution {\npublic:\n int numIdenticalPairs(vector<int>& nums) {\n const int maxNum = 100; // Given constraint: 1 <= nums[i] <= 100\n vector<int> count(maxNum + 1, 0); // Initialize an array to store counts\n \n int goodPairs = 0; // Initialize the count of good pairs\n \n // Iterate through the input array and calculate good pairs directly\n for (int num : nums) {\n goodPairs += count[num]; // Add the count of occurrences for the current number\n count[num]++; // Increment the count of the current number\n }\n \n return goodPairs; // Return the total count of good pairs\n }\n};\n```

\n# Approach\n<!-- Describe your approach to solving the problem. -->\nThis Java code defines a method named **numIdenticalPairs** that takes an array of integers nums and returns the number of good pairs of indices **(i, j)** such that **nums[i] == nums[j]** and **i < j**. A good pair is a pair of indices that satisfies the condition.\n\nThe code first creates a hash map to store the count of occurrences of each number in the input array. It then iterates over the map and computes the count of good pairs for each number using the formula **m*(m-1)/2**, where m is the count of occurrences of the number. The total count of good pairs is accumulated in the count variable and returned.\n\nThe time complexity of the code is **O(n)**, where n is the length of the input array, because it uses a hash map to count the occurrences of each number, which takes **O(n)** time, and then iterates over the map, which takes **O(m)** time where m is the number of distinct numbers in the array (which is usually much smaller than n).\n\n\n# Complexity\n- Time complexity:\n<!-- Add your time complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\n\n- Space complexity:\n<!-- Add your space complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\n\n# Code\n```\nclass Solution {\n public int numIdenticalPairs(int[] nums) {\n HashMap<Integer,Integer> map = new HashMap<>();\n int count = 0;\n int n = nums.length;\n for(int i=0; i<n; i++){\n if(map.containsKey(nums[i]))\n map.put(nums[i],map.get(nums[i])+1);\n else\n map.put(nums[i],1);\n }\n for(Map.Entry<Integer,Integer> e: map.entrySet()){\n if(e.getValue()>0){\n int m = e.getValue();\n count+=(m*(m-1))/2;\n }\n }\n return count;\n }\n}\n```\n## If you find this helpful then pls upvote me..........

We declared an empty array of size 101 since 101 is the max number given in constraints.\nThe temp array looks like [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ... , 0] now.\n\nWe are now looping in the given nums array and going to each element and adding it\'s temp count.\n\nLet\'s understand this by an example.\nGiven `nums = [1,2,3,1,1,3]`\nwhen i=0, we will check nums[i] which is num[0] = 1.\nThen we will go to temp[nums[i]] which is temp[1] = 0 for now. So we will add it to count 0 + 0 = 0.\nThen we will perform temp[1]++ which means we will make the temp array look like [0,1,0,0,0...0]\n\nNow, we will have i =1:\nnums[1]=2\ntemp[2]++\ncount = 0 + 0\nNow the temp array will look like [0, 1, 1, 0, 0, ... , 0]\n\ni = 2\nnums[2] = 3\ntemp[3]++\ncount = 0 + 0\nNow the temp array will look like [0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, ... , 0]\n\nNow for i = 3\nnums[3] = 1\ntemp[1]++\ncount = 0 + 1\nNow the temp array will look like [0, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0, ... , 0]\n\nNow for i = 4\nnums[4] = 1\ntemp[1]++\ncount = 1 + 2\nNow the temp array will look like [0, 3, 1, 1, 0, 0, ... , 0]\n\nFor i = 5\nnums[5] = 3\ntemp[3]++\ncount = 3 + 1\nNow the temp array will look like [0, 3, 1, 2, 0, ... , 0]\n\nWe will return count which is 4\n```\nclass Solution {\n public int numIdenticalPairs(int[] nums) {\n int[] temp = new int[101];\n \n int count = 0;\n \n for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {\n count += temp[nums[i]]++;\n }\n \n return count;\n }\n}\n```

# Intuition\nThe problem asks us to count the number of "good pairs" in the array, where a pair (i, j) is considered "good" if nums[i] == nums[j] and i < j. Essentially, we are looking for identical values at different positions in the array. This problem can be solved using a brute-force approach by comparing each element with every subsequent element in the array.\n\n# Approach\n1. Start by initializing a counter c to zero, which will store the number of good pairs.\n2. Use two nested loops to iterate through the array. The outer loop will go through each element in the array with index i. The inner loop will start from i + 1 to avoid counting the same pair twice or comparing the element with itself.\n3.

# Intuition\n<!-- Describe your first thoughts on how to solve this problem. -->\nWe need to find all pairs where ```nums[i]==nums[j]``` where ```i < j``` basically which indicates ```{i,j}``` and ```{j,i}``` should be counted once.\n\n- To do this there can be multiple approaches- \n - Bruteforce, Starting from the first index and find all pairs and check for the condition.\n - Using the occurence of every number and applying permutation and combination for all occurences.\n - Making a hash map for all numbers, and if the current number is already present in the map then we know we have found more pairs.(With pictures and Optimal)\n\n# Approach 1: Brute Force\n<!-- Describe your approach to solving the problem. -->\n1. Starting a loop from ``` i = 0 ``` to ```i = nums.size() - 1 ```\n - ``` i ``` is iterated till ```n-1``` because for the last case ```i < j``` and if we don\'t stop ``` i ``` then ```nums[j]``` would be out of bounds and we will get an error.\n2. Starting a nested loop ``` j = i+1 ``` to ``` j = nums.size()```\n - ``` j ``` is initialized by one greater than ``` i ``` so that the condition ``` i < j ``` remains.\n3. Checking for the condition ```nums[i]=nums[j]``` and whenever it is true, adding 1 to the total number of pairs to an INT ```count```, earlier initialized as ``` 0 ```.\n4. Returning ```count``` of the total pairs.\n\n\n# Complexity\n- Time complexity: O(n^2)\n- Space complexity: O(1)\n<!-- Add your space complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\n\n# Code\n```\nclass Solution {\npublic:\n int numIdenticalPairs(vector<int>& nums) {\n int count=0;\n \n for(int i = 0; i < nums.size()-1; i++){\n for(int j = i+1; j < nums.size(); j++){\n if (nums[i]==nums[j]){\n count++;\n }\n }\n }\n return count;\n }\n};\n```\n# Approach 2: Permutation and Combination\n<!-- Describe your approach to solving the problem. -->\n1. Creating an ```unordered_map``` mp.\n2. Running a loop till ```n``` and storing occurence```(value)```of every number```(key)``` from the given array.\n3. Consider this as unique combinations of 2 from this ```integer set {n}```\n - for 1 occurence, 0 pairs\n - for 2 occurence, 1 pairs\n - for 3 occurence, 3 pairs\n - for 4 occurence, 6 pairs\n - for 5 occurence, 10 pairs\n - for 6 occurence, 15 pairs\n- Note the consistent pairs to the occurence as:\n![123.png](https://assets.leetcode.com/users/images/4b11614b-e8e4-4e0b-bc12-1c805adf759c_1696355657.4268048.png)\n where ```n``` is number of occurence of a number.\n4. Solving the above expression for occurence of all numbers.\n5. Adding the solution of every occurence to ```count```, initialized as ```zero```.\n6. Returning ```count```.\n\n# Complexity\n- Time complexity: O(2*n) = O(n)\n- Space complexity: O(n)\n<!-- Add your space complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\n\n# Code\n```\nclass Solution {\npublic:\n int numIdenticalPairs(vector<int>& nums) {\n int count=0;\n unordered_map<int, int> mp;\n\n for(int i=0;i<nums.size();i++){\n mp[nums[i]]++;\n }\n\n for (auto i: mp) {\n count = count + ((i.second * (i.second-1))/2);\n }\n return count;\n }\n};\n```\n\n# Approach 3: Hash Map\n<!-- Describe your approach to solving the problem. -->\n1. Initialize a map ```mp``` which stores the count of each number in the array.\n2. Storing in the map as we go so for ```i```th number everything from ```0``` to ```i-1``` is stored in the map.\n3. Traversing over the array and checking if the current ```nums[i]``` has a value greater than ```0``` which means it is already present in the map.\n4. If it does, adding its occurence till now to ```count```.\n5. Incrementing the count of curr.\n6. Returning count.\n\n# To Understand The Calculation:\n- Let\'s consider an array ```[1,1,1,1]```\n\n![1.png](https://assets.leetcode.com/users/images/c117b3e1-ab0b-4ca1-989e-8608aded2dc5_1696358226.0413039.png)\n\n- ```mp[current]``` was ```0``` so just did ```mp[current]++;```\n\n![2.png](https://assets.leetcode.com/users/images/9c7d105a-2262-4503-bb03-d506ffa9346b_1696358277.1824193.png)\n\n- ```mp[current]``` was true as it was not equal to zero so we added the previous value of ```mp[current]``` to ```count``` as that is ```1``` and the pairs seen is ```1``` then ```mp[current]++;```.\n\n![3.png](https://assets.leetcode.com/users/images/5227bc8f-a583-46c4-b5d4-1002dda96d3a_1696358316.1949248.png)\n\n- As by traversing to the next same element 2 new pairs are formed and ```mp[current]==2``` , adding that to ```count``` and then ```mp[current]++;```.\n\n![4.png](https://assets.leetcode.com/users/images/d47d1e66-e14e-4800-8f48-902a5cd92a94_1696358331.7055242.png)\n\n- As by traversing to the next same element 3 new pairs are formed and ```mp[current]==3``` , adding that to ```count``` and then ```mp[current]++;```.\n\n- After traversing and adding frequencies to the count ```6``` is returned.\n\n\n# Complexity\n- Time complexity: O(n)\n- Space complexity: O(n)\n<!-- Add your space complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\n\n# Code\n```\nclass Solution {\npublic:\n int numIdenticalPairs(vector<int>& nums) {\n int n = nums.size();\n int count = 0;\n\n unordered_map<int,int> mp;\n\n for(int i = 0; i < n ;i++){\n int current = nums[i];\n\n if(mp[current]){\n count += mp[current];\n }\n mp[current]++;\n }\n return count;\n }\n};\n```

# Intuition\nThe intuition behind the given code is to find and count the number of identical pairs of elements in a given vector `nums`. Here\'s the step-by-step intuition:\n\n1. **Initialization**: Initialize variables `n` to store the size of the input vector `nums` and `cnt` to keep track of the count of identical pairs. Initially, `cnt` is set to 0.\n\n2. **Nested Loops**: The code uses two nested loops to compare elements in the vector.\n\n - The outer loop (`i`) iterates through each element of the vector, representing one element of a potential pair.\n - The inner loop (`j`) iterates through the remaining elements in the vector, representing the other element of the potential pair.\n\n3. **Comparison**: Within the nested loops, it checks if `nums[i]` is equal to `nums[j]` to determine if the elements at indices `i` and `j` are identical. Additionally, it ensures that `i` is less than `j` to avoid counting the same pair twice.\n\n4. **Counting**: If `nums[i]` and `nums[j]` are equal and `i` is less than `j`, it increments the `cnt` variable by 1. This means it has found an identical pair.\n\n5. **Looping through Pairs**: The nested loops continue to iterate through all possible pairs of elements in the vector, comparing each pair and incrementing `cnt` when an identical pair is found.\n\n6. **Result**: After both loops finish, the function returns the final value of `cnt`, which represents the total count of identical pairs found in the input vector `nums`.\n\nIn summary, the code exhaustively checks all possible pairs of elements in the vector and counts the pairs where the elements are identical. It uses nested loops to achieve this, resulting in a time complexity of O(n^2) due to the two levels of iteration.\n\n# Approach\nThe given code is a C++ function that takes a vector of integers `nums` as input and calculates the number of identical pairs of elements in the vector. It uses a nested loop to compare elements and count the identical pairs. Here\'s a step-by-step breakdown of the code:\n\n1. Declare a function `numIdenticalPairs` that takes a reference to a vector of integers `nums` as its parameter. The function returns an integer, which is the count of identical pairs.\n\n2. Get the size of the input vector `nums` and store it in the variable `n`.\n\n3. Initialize a variable `cnt` to 0. This variable will be used to keep track of the count of identical pairs.\n\n4. Start a nested loop with two variables `i` and `j` to iterate through all pairs of elements in the vector.\n\n - The outer loop (`i`) iterates from 0 to `n-1`, covering all possible starting positions for pairs.\n - The inner loop (`j`) iterates from `i+1` to `n-1`, ensuring that it only compares elements that come after the current `i` element.\n\n5. Inside the nested loops, check if the elements at indices `i` and `j` in the `nums` vector are equal using the condition `nums[i] == nums[j]`. Also, ensure that `i` is less than `j` to avoid counting the same pair twice.\n\n - If the condition is true, increment the `cnt` variable by 1. This means you\'ve found an identical pair.\n\n6. Continue iterating through all possible pairs in the vector, comparing elements and counting identical pairs.\n\n7. Once the loops finish, return the value of `cnt`, which represents the total count of identical pairs found in the input vector `nums`.\n\nThis code has a time complexity of O(n^2) because it uses nested loops to compare all pairs of elements in the vector. It can be optimized to run in O(n) time complexity by using a hash map or an array to count the occurrences of each element and then calculating the identical pairs based on the counts.\n\n# Complexity\n- Time complexity:\n$$O(n^2)$$ \n\n- Space complexity:\n$$O(1)$$\n\n# Code\n```\nclass Solution {\npublic:\n int numIdenticalPairs(vector<int>& nums) {\n int n=nums.size();\n int cnt=0;\n for(int i=0;i<n;i++){\n for(int j=i+1;j<n;j++){\n if(nums[i] == nums[j] && i<j){\n cnt++;\n } \n }\n }\n return cnt;\n }\n};\n```

# Intuition\n<!-- Describe your first thoughts on how to solve this problem. -->\nThe intuition behind this code is to count the number of good pairs in the given array nums. A good pair consists of two elements with the same value, and the goal is to efficiently find and count these pairs.\n\n---\n\n# Approach\n<!-- Describe your approach to solving the problem. -->\n1. We start by recognizing that we only need to consider elements in the range from 1 to 100 because the problem specifies that 1 <= nums[i] <= 100.\n\n2. We initialize an array count of size maxNum + 1 (where maxNum is 100) to store the counts of each possible number in the input array.\n\n3. We initialize a variable goodPairs to keep track of the total number of good pairs.\n\n4. We iterate through the input array nums, and for each number num, we do the following:\n\n5. Add the current count of occurrences for num to goodPairs. This is because for every new occurrence of a number, it forms a good pair with each previous occurrence of the same number.\n- Increment the count of the current number num in the count array.\n6. Finally, we return the goodPairs, which represents the total count of good pairs in the input array.\n\n---\n\n# Complexity\n- Time complexity:\n<!-- Add your time complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\nThe time complexity of this code is O(N), where N is the length of the nums array. We iterate through the array once to count the good pairs efficiently.\n- Space complexity:\n<!-- Add your space complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\nThe space complexity of this code is O(1), as the size of the count array is fixed and independent of the input size. It only depends on the given constraint that numbers in the array are in the range from 1 to 100. This makes the solution very memory-efficient.\n\n\n---\n\n\n# PLEASE UPVOTE\u2763\uD83D\uDE0D\n---\n\n# Code\n```\nclass Solution {\npublic:\n int numIdenticalPairs(vector<int>& nums) {\n const int maxNum = 100; // Given constraint: 1 <= nums[i] <= 100\n vector<int> count(maxNum + 1, 0); // Initialize an array to store counts\n \n int goodPairs = 0; // Initialize the count of good pairs\n \n // Iterate through the input array and calculate good pairs directly\n for (int num : nums) {\n goodPairs += count[num]; // Add the count of occurrences for the current number\n count[num]++; // Increment the count of the current number\n }\n \n return goodPairs; // Return the total count of good pairs\n }\n};\n\n```

# Intuition\uD83D\uDE80\n<!-- Describe your first thoughts on how to solve this problem. -->\nThe intuition behind this solution is to count the occurrences of each number in the input array using an unordered map (countMap).

Initialize an unordered_map countMap to store the count of each unique number in the input array.\n2.

Finally, we sum up the number of pairs for each integer to get the total number of identical pairs in the array.\n# Complexity\n<!-- - Time complexity: -->\n<!-- Add your time complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\n\n<!-- - Space complexity: -->\n<!-- Add your space complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\nThe time complexity of this solution is O(n), where n is the length of the input array. This is because we iterate through the array once to create the hash map, and then iterate through the keys in the map, which has a maximum length of the number of unique integers in the array. The space complexity is also O(n), since we are using a hash map to store the frequency of each integer in the array.\n# Code\n```\n/**\n * @param {number[]} nums\n * @return {number}\n */\nvar numIdenticalPairs = function (nums) {\n let m = {};\n\n nums.forEach((element) => {\n if (m[element] == undefined) m[element] = 1;\n else m[element]++;\n });\n\n let res = 0;\n\n for (const key in m) {\n if (Object.hasOwnProperty.call(m, key)) {\n const element = m[key];\n if (element > 1) res += element * (element / 2 - 0.5);\n }\n }\n\n return res;\n};\n```

**Suggestions to make it better are always welcomed.**\n\nThere are 3 ways of doing this:\n1. Use 2 for loops. For every ith element, compare with the remaining i+1 to n elements. If match is found, increase the count. This is T=O(n2) and S=O(1)\n\n2. Sort the list before processing it. This way all the matching numbers will be near each other. Now searching for the pair can be done using binary search. Assuming sorting is O(n log n) and binary search for every ith element is also O(n log n), overall T = O(n log n) and S = O(1)\n\n3. Using dictionary. Record every elements that we encounter. If the element already exists, then increment it\'s count. We sum the elements that match and return the result. Here T=O(n) at the expense of space, S=O(n)\n\n**Implementation of solution 3:**\n```\ndef numIdenticalPairs(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:\n\tmapping = collections.defaultdict(int)\n\ttotal = 0\n\tfor i in range(len(nums)):\n\t\ttotal += mapping[nums[i]]\n\t\tmapping[nums[i]] += 1\n\treturn total\n```\n\n**If this solution helped, please upvote it for others to take advantage of it and learn their techniques**

Here\'s how the logic works:\n\n1. **HashMap Initialization**: A HashMap named `map` is initialized to keep track of the frequency of each number in the array `nums`.\n\n2. **Iterating Through the Array**:\n - We loop through each element in the array `nums`.\n - For each element `nums[i]`, we check if it already exists in the `map`.\n - **If it exists**: This means that there are already some occurrences of `nums[i]` in the array before index `i`. The number of "good pairs" that can be formed with the current element `nums[i]` is equal to the number of times `nums[i]` has been seen so far. We increment the count `c` by the value associated with `nums[i]` in the map.\n - Then, we increment the count of `nums[i]` in the map by 1.\n - **If it does not exist**: We add `nums[i]` to the map with a count of 1.\n\n3. **Counting Good Pairs**:\n - The variable `c` accumulates the total number of "good pairs" as we iterate through the array. By the end of the loop, `c` contains the total number of pairs `(i, j)` such that `nums[i] == nums[j]` and `i < j`.\n\n### Example\n\nLet\'s walk through a quick example:\n\n- **Input**: `nums = [1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 3]`\n- **Initialization**: `map = {}`, `c = 0`\n \n- **Iteration 1**: `nums[0] = 1`\n - `map` is empty, add `1` to `map` with count `1`.\n - `map = {1: 1}`, `c = 0`\n\n- **Iteration 2**: `nums[1] = 2`\n - `map` does not have `2`, add `2` to `map` with count `1`.\n - `map = {1: 1, 2: 1}`, `c = 0`\n\n- **Iteration 3**: `nums[2] = 3`\n - `map` does not have `3`, add `3` to `map` with count `1`.\n - `map = {1: 1, 2: 1, 3: 1}`, `c = 0`\n\n- **Iteration 4**: `nums[3] = 1`\n - `map` has `1` with count `1`. Increment `c` by `1` (because there is 1 previous `1`).\n - Increment count of `1` in `map` to `2`.\n - `map = {1: 2, 2: 1, 3: 1}`, `c = 1`\n\n- **Iteration 5**: `nums[4] = 1`\n - `map` has `1` with count `2`. Increment `c` by `2` (because there are 2 previous `1`s).\n - Increment count of `1` in `map` to `3`.\n - `map = {1: 3, 2: 1, 3: 1}`, `c = 3`\n\n- **Iteration 6**: `nums[5] = 3`\n - `map` has `3` with count `1`. Increment `c` by `1` (because there is 1 previous `3`).\n - Increment count of `3` in `map` to `2`.\n - `map = {1: 3, 2: 1, 3: 2}`, `c = 4`\n\n- **Final Output**: `c = 4`\n\n\n\n### Time Complexity: **O(n)**\n### Space Complexity: **O(n)** \n

So here is my accepted code using **Union Find** data structure. The idea comes from the observation that if a region is NOT captured, it is connected to the boundry. So if we connect all the 'O' nodes on the boundry to a dummy node, and then connect each 'O' node to its neighbour 'O' nodes, then we can tell directly whether a 'O' node is captured by checking whether it is connected to the dummy node.\nFor more about Union Find, the first assignment in the algo1 may help:\nhttps://www.coursera.org/course/algs4partI

In this problem we need to understand, what exactly surrouned by `\'X\'` means. It actually means that if we start from `\'O\'` at the border, and we traverse only `\'O\'`, only those `\'O\'` are **not surrouned** by `\'X\'`. So the plan is the following:\n\n1. Start dfs or bfs from all `\'O\'`, which are on the border.\n2. When we traverse them, let us color them as `\'T\'`, temporary color.\n3. Now, when we traverse all we wanted, all colors which are not `\'T\'` need to renamed to `\'X\'` and all colors which are `\'T\'` need to be renamed to `\'O\'`, and that is all!\n\n**Compexity**: time complextiy is `O(mn)`, where `m` and `n` are sizes of our board. Additional space complexity can also go upto `O(mn)` to keep stack of recursion.\n\n```\nclass Solution:\n def dfs(self, i, j):\n if i<0 or j<0 or i>=self.M or j>=self.N or self.board[i][j] != "O":\n return\n self.board[i][j] = \'T\'\n neib_list = [[i+1,j],[i-1,j],[i,j-1],[i,j+1]]\n for x, y in neib_list:\n self.dfs(x, y)\n \n def solve(self, board):\n if not board: return 0\n self.board, self.M, self.N = board, len(board), len(board[0])\n \n for i in range(0, self.M):\n self.dfs(i,0)\n self.dfs(i,self.N-1)\n \n for j in range(0, self.N):\n self.dfs(0,j)\n self.dfs(self.M-1,j)\n \n for i,j in product(range(self.M), range(self.N)):\n board[i][j] = "X" if board[i][j] != "T" else "O"\n```\n\nIf you have any questions, feel free to ask.

**Problem statement at a glance**: So, a m x n matrix is given with \'O\'s and \'X\'s and we to make all \'O\'s to \'X\'s which are on 4 directions of a \'X\' and they should not be connected with an \'O\' which is on border.\n**Approach:**\n1) Traverse all borders of the grid and if you find an \'O\', then mark all the connected \'O\'s with any other temporary character(Let\'s say \'1\'). ( We should not convert the \'O\'s which are connected with an \'O\' which is on border. So, first mark those positions with any other character, so that at later we can convert them to \'O\' again). \n2) Now convert all 1\'s to O\'s and O\'s to X\'s.\n\n**Pictorial Representation:**\n![image](https://assets.leetcode.com/users/images/92fc26e2-d40c-4baf-b333-ca607a7000f2_1635768074.128428.png)\n\n**Time Complexity:** O(N * M), where N is the number of rows of the board and M is the number of columns of the board. We will be traversing the grid two times. So time complexity is O(2 * N * M) ~ O(N * M).\n\n**Space Complexity:** O(N * M). Due to a queue in BFS.\n\n**Code:**\n```\nclass Solution {\n public void bfs(char [][]board,int i,int j)\n {\n // These two arrays are used to traverse four directions of a particular cell.\n int []dx={-1,0,1,0};\n int []dy={0,1,0,-1};\n Queue<ArrayList<Integer>>queue=new LinkedList<>();\n // Add the current cell to queue\n queue.add(new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(i,j)));\n // Do BFS until queue is empty\n while(!queue.isEmpty())\n {\n // Retrieve first position in queue\n ArrayList<Integer>temp=queue.poll();\n int curx=(int)temp.get(0);\n int cury=(int)temp.get(1);\n // Mark it as \'1\'\n board[curx][cury]=\'1\';\n // Mark four cells which are connected to current cell to \'1\' if cell has \'O\' and push it to queue.\n for(int i1=0;i1<4;i1++)\n {\n if(curx+dx[i1]<board.length && curx+dx[i1]>=0 && cury+dy[i1]<board[0].length && cury+dy[i1]>=0)\n {\n \n if(board[curx+dx[i1]][cury+dy[i1]]==\'O\'){\n board[curx+dx[i1]][cury+dy[i1]]=\'1\';\n queue.add(new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(curx+dx[i1],cury+dy[i1])));\n }\n }\n }\n \n }\n }\n public void solve(char[][] board) {\n \n // Traversing on 1st row\n for(int j=0;j<board[0].length;j++)\n {\n // If we found an \'O\' on border, we need to make all its connected \'O\'s to \'1\'s.\n if(board[0][j]==\'O\')\n {\n bfs(board,0,j); \n }\n }\n // Traversing on last row\n for(int j=0;j<board[0].length;j++)\n {\n // If we found an \'O\' on border, we need to make all its connected \'O\'s to \'1\'s.\n if(board[board.length-1][j]==\'O\')\n bfs(board,board.length-1,j);\n } \n // Traversing on first column\n for(int i=0;i<board.length;i++)\n {\n // If we found an \'O\' on border, we need to make all its connected \'O\'s to \'1\'s.\n if(board[i][0]==\'O\')\n bfs(board,i,0);\n }\n // Traversing on last column\n for(int i=0;i<board.length;i++)\n {\n // If we found an \'O\' on border, we need to make all its connected \'O\'s to \'1\'s.\n if(board[i][board[0].length-1]==\'O\')\n bfs(board,i,board[0].length-1);\n }\n // Traverse the grid again and perform step 2\n for(int i=0;i<board.length;i++)\n {\n for(int j=0;j<board[0].length;j++)\n {\n if(board[i][j]==\'O\')\n board[i][j]=\'X\';\n else if(board[i][j]==\'1\')\n board[i][j]=\'O\';\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\nThanks for reading!

This problem could be solved two ways:\n1. Identify all isolated `\'O\'` cells and mark them as `\'X\'` then.\n2. Mark all accessible from boarders `\'O\'` and then turn all inaccessible ones into `\'X\'`.\n\nThis solution is about the **second way**.\n\nTo mark cells as "reachable", algorithm changing their values to `\'R\'` instead of `\'O\'`.\n\n1. Follow through left and right borders of the board and look for `\'O\'` cells. If found recursevly mark all accessible `\'O\'` cells as `\'R\'`.\n2. Follow through top and bottom borders of the board and do the same.\n3. Follow through the whole board and flip `\'O\'` -> `\'X\'` and `\'R\'` -> `\'O\'`\n\n**Time compexity:** `O(N * M), where N is the height of the board and M is the width of the board. Since in the wrost case algorithm processes all cells twice and O(2 * N * M) == O(N * M)`\n**Space complexity:** `O(N * M)` \u2014 only the fixed set of variables of the fixed size is allocated and all \'marks\' are done \'in-place\' **BUT** recursive function calls are stored on the stack and use N * M memory in the worst case.

The Idea is first to Mark those grid which having value \' O \' are deeply adjacent to the First Row , First Column , Last Row and Last Column !!! \nso we are going to update those grid by changeing it\'s value \' O\' - > \' P \' [ I am use \' P \' here ,but You can chose any Value except \' X \' and \' O \' ]\nTo make it happend we run DFS from the Borders[ each by one ] Of The board\nThat\'s It ! this is The main Work , and we done it !!!!

The idea is pretty simple: a 'O' marked cell cannot be captured whether:\n\n1. It is in contact with the border of the board or\n2. It is adjacent to an unflippable cell.\n\nSo the algorithm is straightforward:\n\n 1. Go around the border of the board\n 2. When a 'O' cell is found mark it with 'U' and perform a DFS on its adjacent cells looking for other 'O' marked cells.\n 3. When the entire border is processed scan again the board\n- If a cell is marked as 'O' it wasn't connected to unflippable cell. Hence capture it with 'X'\n- If a cell is marked as 'X' nothing must be done.\n- If a cell is marked as 'U' mark it as 'O' because it was an original 'O' marked cell which satisfied one of the above conditions.\n\nOn a technical side regarding the code:\n\n- In the problem statement it's not specified that the board is rectangular. So different checks must performed when scanning the border.\n- Since a pure recursive search causes stack overflow it's necessary to make the DFS iterative using a stack to simulate recursion.\n\n\npublic class Solution {\n\n static class Pair {\n public int first;\n public int second;\n public Pair(int f, int s) {\n first = f;\n second = s;\n }\n }\n\n public void solve(char[][] board) {\n if(board == null || board.length == 0) {\n return ;\n }\n for(int i = 0; i < board[0].length; ++i) {\n if(board[0][i] == 'O') {\n markUnflippable(board,0,i);\n }\n }\n for(int i = 0; i < board[board.length-1].length; ++i) {\n if(board[board.length-1][i] == 'O') {\n markUnflippable(board,board.length-1,i);\n }\n }\n for(int i = 0 ; i < board.length; ++i) {\n if(board[i][0] == 'O') {\n markUnflippable(board,i,0);\n }\n }\n for(int i =0; i < board.length; ++i) {\n if(board[i][board[i].length-1] == 'O') {\n markUnflippable(board,i,board[i].length-1);\n }\n }\n \n // modify the board\n for(int i = 0; i < board.length; ++i) {\n for(int j = 0; j < board[i].length; ++j) {\n if(board[i][j] == 'O') {\n board[i][j] = 'X';\n } else if(board[i][j] == 'U') {\n board[i][j] = 'O';\n }\n }\n }\n }\n \n public void markUnflippable(char[][] board, int r, int c) {\n int[] dirX = {-1,0,1,0};\n int[] dirY = {0,1,0,-1};\n ArrayDeque<Pair> stack = new ArrayDeque<>();\n stack.push(new Pair(r,c));\n while(!stack.isEmpty()) {\n Pair p = stack.pop();\n board[p.first][p.second] = 'U';\n for(int i = 0; i < dirX.length; ++i) {\n if(p.first + dirX[i] >= 0 && p.first + dirX[i] < board.length && p.second + dirY[i] >= 0 && p.second +dirY[i] < board[p.first + dirX[i]].length && board[p.first+dirX[i]][p.second+dirY[i]] == 'O') {\n stack.push(new Pair(p.first+dirX[i],p.second+dirY[i]));\n }\n }\n }\n }\n}

For **DFS** and **BFS**, we have the same idea in solving this problem.\n1. We first go through boarders to check if there is any `\'O\'`. \n2. If found `\'O\'` on boarders, perform DFS or BFS and make all connected `\'O\'` becomes `\'D\'`.\n3. After that, we go through whole board and mark remaining `\'O\'` as `\'X\'`, and `\'D\'` as `\'O\'`.\n\nFor **Union Find**, we have a different idea.\n1.
