Sorted deduplication
Sorted deduplication
EasyYour task
- Turn a sorted sequence into a new sequence with each value appearing once.
- Keep the result in ascending order.
- Return the sequence itself, not a count, and do not modify the input.
Required API
- DeduplicateSorted
func DeduplicateSorted(values []int) []int
Behavior
- Separate calls must not share state.
- Aim for O(n) time and O(1) auxiliary space, excluding the returned sequence, using only the standard library.
- Explain why adjacent comparisons are enough.
Constraints
- The input is sorted in nondecreasing order and may contain repeated values.
- It is already valid: 0–1,000 integers between -100,000 and 100,000 inclusive.
- Return an empty list for empty input.
Notes and example notation
Examples use {"values": [...]}.
