1929. Concatenation of Array

Description

Given an integer array nums of length n, you want to create an array ans of length 2n where ans[i] == nums[i] and ans[i + n] == nums[i] for 0 <= i < n (0-indexed).

Specifically, ans is the concatenation of two nums arrays.

Return the array ans.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,1]
Output: [1,2,1,1,2,1]
Explanation: The array ans is formed as follows:
- ans = [nums[0],nums[1],nums[2],nums[0],nums[1],nums[2]]
- ans = [1,2,1,1,2,1]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,3,2,1]
Output: [1,3,2,1,1,3,2,1]
Explanation: The array ans is formed as follows:
- ans = [nums[0],nums[1],nums[2],nums[3],nums[0],nums[1],nums[2],nums[3]]
- ans = [1,3,2,1,1,3,2,1]

 

Constraints:

  • n == nums.length
  • 1 <= n <= 1000
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 1000

Solutions

Solution 1: Simulation

We directly simulate according to the problem description by adding the elements of \(\textit{nums}\) to the answer array one by one, and then adding the elements of \(\textit{nums}\) to the answer array again.

The time complexity is \(O(n)\), and the space complexity is \(O(n)\). Here, \(n\) is the length of the array \(\textit{nums}\).
