Maximum Gap Between Similar Elements

  1. Create a map to store the last occurrence index for each unique element in the array.
  2. Create another map to store the maximum gap for each unique element.
  3. Iterate through the array, updating the last occurrence index and calculating the gap between the current and last occurrence for each element.
  4. Update the maximum gap for each element if the current gap is larger.
  5. After the iteration, go through the maximum gap map and find the smallest value.
