Description
Given an array of integers nums and a positive integer k, check whether it is possible to divide this array into sets of k consecutive numbers.
Return true if it is possible. Otherwise, return false.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,3,4,4,5,6], k = 4
Output: true
Explanation: Array can be divided into [1,2,3,4] and [3,4,5,6].
Example 2:
Input: nums = [3,2,1,2,3,4,3,4,5,9,10,11], k = 3
Output: true
Explanation: Array can be divided into [1,2,3] , [2,3,4] , [3,4,5] and [9,10,11].
Example 3:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,4], k = 3
Output: false
Explanation: Each array should be divided in subarrays of size 3.
