215. Kth Largest Element in an A

215. Kth Largest Element in an Array

Pick One

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.

Seen this question in a real interview before? Yes

思路：用最小堆来实现， 当Q的size小于k时，就一直push,而后当堆顶元素小于遍历的nums[i],就给pop出去并且把nums[i] push进入堆中。
AC代码：

class Solution {
public:
    int findKthLargest(vector<int>& nums, int k) {
        priority_queue<int,vector<int>,greater<int> >Q;
        for(int i=0;i<nums.size();i++){
            if(Q.size()<k){
                Q.push(nums[i]);
            }
            else if(Q.top()<nums[i]){
                Q.pop();
                Q.push(nums[i]);
            }
        }
        return Q.top();
    }
};
