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.
思路分析:求主元素的经典算法是Moore投票算法,基本可以理解为将主元素和不同元素一一对应相消,最后剩下来的元素就是主元素。具体做法是,初始计数器times和candidate都是0,然后遍历数组,当times为0时置换新的candidate,遇到和candidate相同元素times++,遇到和candidate相异元素times--,如此操作,如果主元素存在,最后剩下的一定是主元素。时间复杂度O(n),空间复杂度O(1).
AC Code
public class Solution { public int majorityElement(int[] nums) { //0627 //Moore Voting int n = nums.length; int candidate = 0; int times = 0; for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){ if(times == 0) candidate = nums[i]; if(nums[i] != candidate){ times--; } else{ times++; } } return candidate; //0631 } }
