Given an integer array of size n, find all elements that appear more than ⌊ n/3 ⌋ times. The algorithm should run in linear time and in O(1) space.
Hint:
How many majority elements could it possibly have?
Do you have a better hint? Suggest it!
Boyer-Moore Majority Vote algorithm
class Solution {
public:
vector<int> majorityElement(vector<int>& nums) {
int count1 = 0,count2 = 0, candidate1 = 0,candidate2 = 1;
vector<int> result;
for(auto num : nums){
if(num == candidate1){
count1++;
}
else if(num == candidate2){
count2++;
}
else if(count1 == 0){
candidate1 = num;
count1= 1;
}
else if(count2 == 0){
candidate2 = num;
count2 = 1;
}
else{
count1--;
count2--;
}
}
count1 = 0;
count2 = 0;
for(auto num:nums){
if(num == candidate1)
count1++;
if(num == candidate2)
count2++;
}
if(count1 > nums.size()/3) result.push_back(candidate1);
if(count2 > nums.size()/3) result.push_back(candidate2);
return result;
}
};
