# 217. Contains Duplicate

Given an array of integers, find if the array contains any duplicates.

Your function should return true if any value appears at least twice in the array, and it should return false if every element is distinct.

**Example 1:**

```
Input: [1,2,3,1]
Output: true
```

**Example 2:**

```
Input: [1,2,3,4]
Output: false
```

**Example 3:**

```
Input: [1,1,1,3,3,4,3,2,4,2]
Output: true
```

#### 解题要点：

如果元素在set里，返回True。

```python
class Solution(object):
    def containsDuplicate(self, nums):
        """
        :type nums: List[int]
        :rtype: bool
        """
        myset = set()
        for n in nums:
            if n in myset:
                return True
            myset.add(n)
        return False
```
