Given a non-empty array of integers, return the k most frequent elements.
For example,
Given [1,1,1,2,2,3]
and k = 2, return [1,2]
.
Note:
- You may assume k is always valid, 1 ≤ k ≤ number of unique elements.
- Your algorithm's time complexity must be better than O(n log n), where n is the array's size.

public:
vector<int> topKFrequent(vector<int>& nums, int k) {

map[num]++;
}
vector<int> res;
// pair<first, second>: first is frequency, second is number
priority_queue<pair<int,int>> pq;
for(auto it = map.begin(); it != map.end(); it++){
pq.push(make_pair(it->second, it->first));
if(pq.size() > (int)map.size() - k){
res.push_back(pq.top().second);
pq.pop();
}
}
return res;
