sharedBirthday

Language/Type: Java Guava Table collections
Author: Marty Stepp (on 2013/01/22)

Write a method named sharedBirthday that accepts an array of integers for a group of people's birthdays and returns true if any two people have the same birthday (and false if not). Each pair of array elements represents someone's birth month and day. For example, if your method is passed the array [3, 14, 12, 25, 2, 9, 8, 17, 3, 28, 2, 9, 6, 17], you should return true because the birthday of February 9 occurs twice (at index 4 and 10). Use a Guava Table as auxiliary storage.
