### Example 1:
- Input: `nums = [0,1]`
- Output: `2`
- Explanation: [0, 1] is the longest contiguous subarray with an equal number of `0` and `1`.
### Example 2:
- Input: `nums = [0,1,0]`
- Output: `2`
- Explanation: [0, 1] (or [1, 0]) is a longest contiguous subarray with equal number of `0` and `1`.
### Example 3:
- Input: `nums = [0,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0]`
- Output: `6`
- Explanation: `[1,1,1,0,0,0]` is the longest contiguous subarray with equal number of `0` and `1`.
### Constraints:
- `1 <= nums.length <= 10^5`
- `nums[i]` is either 0 or 1.
## Solution
```py
class Solution:
def findMaxLength(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
map = {0: -1}
count = 0
longest = 0
for i, num in enumerate(nums):
count += 1 if num == 1 else -1
if count in map:
longest = max(longest, i - map[count])
else:
map[count] = i
return longest
```
