Challenge: Find Duplicates in a List With No Repetition
Write a function to find the duplicates in a list with no repetition, in the most efficient way.
We'll cover the following
Problem statement
Given a list of integers, find all the duplicates that exist in that list.
Input
A list of duplicate integers
Note: All the integers are less than the size of the list.
Output
A list with the duplicates if they exist, and an empty list if they don’t
Sample input
lst = [1, 3, 1, 3, 5, 1, 4, 7, 7]
Sample output
result = [1, 3, 7]
