Here i attached a java example to show how to check duplicated value in an array. I show two methods to implement this.

1) Using two for loop to compare each values in array – Line 21

2)Using HashSet to detect duplicated value. – Line 40

Hope help, if you know any other method to compare duplicated value in array, please share it to me.
