The context for these coding-challenges is they are the type for algorithm competition or white-board coding interview.
Back then when I was still looking for job, I was asked this question by a startup. I gave out this hashset solution and was quickly asked if O(1) space solution was available and then asked to implemented it.
If the space restriction is not an issue, I would definitely go with the method you suggested. Way more succinct and easier to follow.
