LeetCode215. Kth Largest Element in an Array

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.
Note:
You may assume k is always valid, 1 ≤ k ≤ array’s length.

实现代码：

public class Solution {
    public int findKthLargest(int[] nums, int k) {
        int start = 0;
        int end = nums.length-1;
        int temp = 0;
        int result = 0;
        while(start <= end) {
            int p = start - 1;
            for (int i = start; i < end; i++) {
                //倒叙，大数往前放
                if (nums[i] > nums[end]) {
                    temp = nums[++p];
                    nums[p] = nums[i];
                    nums[i] = temp;
                }
            }
            temp = nums[++p];
            nums[p] = nums[end];
            nums[end] = temp;
            int c = p + 1 - start;
            if (c == k) {
                return nums[p];
            } else if (c < k){
                //需要往后找
                k = k - c;
                start = p + 1;
            } else {
                //c > k
                //需要往左找
                end = p - 1;
            }
        }
        return result;
    }
}
