# Find All Duplicates in an Array
#
# Given an array of integers, 1 ≤ a[i] ≤ n (n = size of array),
# some elements appear twice and others appear once.
#
# Find all the elements that appear twice in this array.
#
# Could you do it without extra space and in O(n) runtime?
#
# Example:
# Input:
# [4,3,2,7,8,2,3,1]
#
# Output:
# [2,3]
require 'benchmark'
array = [4, 3, 2, 7, 8, 2, 3, 1]
long_array = [4, 3, 2, 7, 8, 2, 3, 1] * 100
#
# Approach: Hash table
#
#
# Complexity Analysis
#
# Time complexity: O(n) average case.

def find_duplicates(array)

# loop through array and build a hash with counters
# where the key is the array element and the counter is the value
# increase counter when duplicate is found
