LeetCode题目:https://leetcode.com/problems/kth-largest-element-in-an-array/
难度:Medium
题目
Find the kth largest element in an unsorted array. Note that it is the kth largest element in the sorted order, not the kth distinct element.
For example,
Given [3,2,1,5,6,4] and k = 2, return 5.
从无序数组中找出第k大的数字。
分析
直接将整个数组做快速排序,时间复杂度是O(N*logN),不能通过。
然后想到,找第k大数字其实并不需要对整个数组排序,每次排序后都可以根据k的大小删掉前一半或者后一半的数组,大大提高了程序运行的效率。
代码

void binary_find(vector<int> &nums, int left, int right) {

while (i < j && nums[i] >= x) i++;

swap(nums[left], nums[i]);
if (i == pos) ans = nums[i];
