Algorithm

169. Majority Element

Description

Given an array nums of size n, return the majority element.

The majority element is the element that appears more than ⌊n / 2⌋ times. You may assume that the majority element always exists in the array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [3,2,3]
Output: 3

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,2,1,1,1,2,2]
Output: 2

Constraints:

  • n == nums.length
  • 1 <= n <= 5 * 104
  • -231 <= nums[i] <= 231 - 1

Follow-up: Could you solve the problem in linear time and in O(1) space?

Solution

// Sorting
public int majorityElement1(int[] nums) {
    Arrays.sort(nums);
    return nums[nums.length/2];
}

// Hashtable
public int majorityElement2(int[] nums) {
    Map<Integer, Integer> myMap = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
    //Hashtable<Integer, Integer> myMap = new Hashtable<Integer, Integer>();
    int ret=0;
    for (int num: nums) {
        if (!myMap.containsKey(num))
            myMap.put(num, 1);
        else
            myMap.put(num, myMap.get(num)+1);
        if (myMap.get(num)>nums.length/2) {
            ret = num;
            break;
        }
    }
    return ret;
}

// Moore voting algorithm
public int majorityElement3(int[] nums) {
    int count=0, ret = 0;
    for (int num: nums) {
        if (count==0)
            ret = num;
        if (num!=ret)
            count--;
        else
            count++;
    }
    return ret;
}

// Bit manipulation
public int majorityElement(int[] nums) {
    int[] bit = new int[32];
    for (int num: nums)
        for (int i=0; i<32; i++)
            if ((num>>(31-i) & 1) == 1)
                bit[i]++;
    int ret=0;
    for (int i=0; i<32; i++) {
        bit[i]=bit[i]>nums.length/2?1:0;
        ret += bit[i]*(1<<(31-i));
    }
    return ret;
}
class Solution {
    public int majorityElement(int[] nums) {
        int majorityCount = nums.length/2;

        for (int num : nums) {
            int count = 0;
            for (int elem : nums) {
                if (elem == num) {
                    count += 1;
                }
            }
            if (count > majorityCount) {
                return num;
            }
        }
        return -1;  
    }
}
