<p>Given an integer array <code>nums</code> and an integer <code>k</code>, return <code>true</code> <em>if there are two <strong>distinct indices</strong> </em><code>i</code><em> and </em><code>j</code><em> in the array such that </em><code>nums[i] == nums[j]</code><em> and </em><code>abs(i - j) &lt;= k</code>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [1,2,3,1], k = 3
<strong>Output:</strong> true
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [1,0,1,1], k = 1
<strong>Output:</strong> true
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [1,2,3,1,2,3], k = 2
<strong>Output:</strong> false
</pre>
