How to find duplicates in a list?

Question

I have a list of unsorted integers and I want to find those elements which have duplicates.

val dup = List(1,1,1,2,3,4,5,5,6,100,101,101,102         


        

Answer 1

My favorite is

def hasDuplicates(in: List[Int]): Boolean = {
  val sorted = in.sortWith((i, j) => i < j)
  val zipped = sorted.tail.zip(sorted)
  zipped.exists(p => p._1 == p._2)
}
