    398 - Random Pick Index\.

    Medium

    Given an integer array nums with possible duplicates , randomly output the index of a given target number. You can assume that the given target number must exist in the array.

    Implement the Solution class:

    • Solution(int[] nums) Initializes the object with the array nums.

    • int pick(int target) Picks a random index i from nums where nums[i] == target. If there are multiple valid i's, then each index should have an equal probability of returning.

    Example 1:

    Input

    ["Solution", "pick", "pick", "pick"]
    [[[1, 2, 3, 3, 3]], [3], [1], [3]]

    Output: null, 4, 0, 2

    Explanation:

    Solution solution = new Solution([1, 2, 3, 3, 3]);
    solution.pick(3); // It should return either index 2, 3, or 4 randomly. Each index should have equal probability of returning.
    solution.pick(1); // It should return 0. Since in the array only nums[0] is equal to 1.
    solution.pick(3); // It should return either index 2, 3, or 4 randomly. Each index should have equal probability of returning.

    Constraints:

    • <code>1 <= nums.length <= 2 * 10<sup>4</sup></code>

    • <code>-2<sup>31</sup><= numsi<= 2<sup>31</sup> - 1</code>

    • target is an integer from nums.

    • At most <code>10<sup>4</sup></code> calls will be made to pick.
