LeetCode-Kth Largest Element in an Array-解题报告

原链接https://leetcode.com/problems/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.

类似快速排序，选取第一个元素作为分界元素,快速排序后

s...i...e

如果i - s + 1 == k return nums[i]

如果i-s + 1 > k return find_k_largest(nums, k, s, i - 1);

其他情况 return  find_k_largest(nums, k - (i - s + 1), i + 1, e);

当然了你也可以随机选取一个元素作为参考元素
