Degree of an Array

Easy

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.
