[LC] 215. 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.

Example 1:

Input: [3,2,1,5,6,4] and k = 2
Output: 5

Example 2:

Input: [3,2,3,1,2,4,5,5,6] and k = 4
Output: 4

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

 

Solution 1: 

Time: O(NlgN)

class Solution {
    public int findKthLargest(int[] nums, int k) {
        Arrays.sort(nums);
        return nums[nums.length - k];
    }
}

 

Solution 2:

Time: O(Nlgk)

class Solution {
    public int findKthLargest(int[] nums, int k) {
        if (nums == null || nums.length == 0) {
            return 0;
        }
        PriorityQueue<Integer> pq = new PriorityQueue<>();
        for (int num : nums) {
            pq.offer(num);
            if (pq.size() > k) {
                pq.poll();
            }
        }
        return pq.poll();
    }
}
