Permutations II

Problem statement

Given a collection of numbers, nums, that might contain duplicates, return all possible unique permutations in any order.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,1,2]Output:[[1,1,2], [1,2,1], [2,1,1]]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2,3]Output: [[1,2,3],[1,3,2],[2,1,3],[2,3,1],[3,1,2],[3,2,1]]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 8
  • -10 <= nums[i] <= 10

My solution

/**
* @param {number[]} nums
* @return {number[][]}
*/
var permuteUnique = function(nums) {
const set = new Set(nums)
const map = new Map();

for (const num of nums) {
map.set(num, (map.get(num) || 0) + 1)
}

const result = []


function parse(combination) {
// console.log(combination)
if (combination.length === nums.length) {
result.push([...combination])
return;
} else {
for (const num of set.values()) {
if (map.get(num)) {
combination.push(num)
map.set(num, map.get(num) - 1)
parse(combination)
combination.pop();
map.set(num, map.get(num) + 1)
}
}
}
}

parse([])

return result;
};
