Majority Element

EasyArraysGreedy

Solve this the way you would in the interview: out loud, on a timer, with an AI interviewer asking follow-ups while you code. You get a scored report at the end.

Problem

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.

Examples

Input: nums = [3,2,3]
Output: 3
Input: nums = [2,2,1,1,1,2,2]
Output: 2

Constraints

  • n == nums.length
  • 1 <= n <= 5 * 10^4
  • -10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9

What the interviewer grades

A correct solution is one of five scores. The report also grades problem understanding (did you clarify inputs and edge cases before coding), problem solving, communication while you work, code quality, and testing. See a sample report, or read up on the pattern in the lessons.
