Given an array of size n, find the majority element. The majority element is the element that appears more than ⌊ n/2 ⌋
times.
You may assume that the array is non-empty and the majority element always exist in the array.
Example 1:
Input: [3,2,3] Output: 3
Example 2:
Input: [2,2,1,1,1,2,2] Output: 2
Approach #1: HashMap. [C++]
class Solution {
public:
int majorityElement(vector<int>& nums) {
map<int, int> mp;
int n = nums.size();
int ans = 0;
for (int num: nums)
mp[num]++;
map<int, int>::iterator it;
it = mp.begin();
while (it != mp.end()) {
if (it->second > n/2)
ans = it->first;
it++;
}
return ans;
}
};
