May LeetCoding Challenge 23

Description

Kth Largest Element in a Stream

Design a class to find the kth largest element in a stream. Note that it is the kth largest element in the sorted order, not the kth distinct element.

Implement KthLargest class:

  • KthLargest(int k, int[] nums) Initializes the object with the integer k and the stream of integers nums.
  • int add(int val) Appends the integer val to the stream and returns the element representing the kth largest element in the stream.

 

Example 1:

Input
["KthLargest", "add", "add", "add", "add", "add"]
[[3, [4, 5, 8, 2]], [3], [5], [10], [9], [4]]
Output
[null, 4, 5, 5, 8, 8]

Explanation
KthLargest kthLargest = new KthLargest(3, [4, 5, 8, 2]);
kthLargest.add(3);   // return 4
kthLargest.add(5);   // return 5
kthLargest.add(10);  // return 5
kthLargest.add(9);   // return 8
kthLargest.add(4);   // return 8

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= k <= 104
  • 0 <= nums.length <= 104
  • -104 <= nums[i] <= 104
  • -104 <= val <= 104
  • At most 104 calls will be made to add.
  • It is guaranteed that there will be at least k elements in the array when you search for the kth element.

Solution

auto speedup = [](){
  cin.tie(nullptr);
  cout.tie(nullptr);
  ios::sync_with_stdio(false);
  return 0;
}();
class KthLargest {
  priority_queue<int, vector<int>, greater<int>> pq;
public:
  KthLargest(int k, vector<int>& nums) {
    int len = nums.size();
    for(int i = 0; i < len && i < k; ++i) {
      pq.push(nums[i]);
    }
    for(int i = k; i < len; ++i) {
      pq.push(nums[i]);
      pq.pop();
    }
    if(len < k) pq.push(INT_MIN);
  }
  
  int add(int val) {
    pq.push(val);
    pq.pop();
    return pq.top();
  }
};
