414. Third Maximum Number

中文文档

Description

Given integer array nums, return the third maximum number in this array. If the third maximum does not exist, return the maximum number.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [3,2,1]
Output: 1
Explanation: The third maximum is 1.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2]
Output: 2
Explanation: The third maximum does not exist, so the maximum (2) is returned instead.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [2,2,3,1]
Output: 1
Explanation: Note that the third maximum here means the third maximum distinct number.
Both numbers with value 2 are both considered as second maximum.

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 104
• -231 <= nums[i] <= 231 - 1

 

Follow up: Can you find an O(n) solution?

Solutions

Python3

class Solution:
    def thirdMax(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        m1 = m2 = m3 = float('-inf')
        for num in nums:
            if num == m1 or num == m2 or num == m3:
                continue
            if num > m1:
                m3, m2, m1 = m2, m1, num
            elif num > m2:
                m3, m2 = m2, num
            elif num > m3:
                m3 = num
        return m1 if m3 == float('-inf') else m3

Java

class Solution {
    public int thirdMax(int[] nums) {
        long m1 = Long.MIN_VALUE;
        long m2 = Long.MIN_VALUE;
        long m3 = Long.MIN_VALUE;
        for (int num : nums) {
            if (num == m1 || num == m2 || num == m3) {
                continue;
            }
            if (num > m1) {
                m3 = m2;
                m2 = m1;
                m1 = num;
            } else if (num > m2) {
                m3 = m2;
                m2 = num;
            } else if (num > m3) {
                m3 = num;
            }
        }
        return (int) (m3 == Long.MIN_VALUE ? m1 : m3);
    }
}

C++

class Solution {
public:
    int thirdMax(vector<int>& nums) {
        long m1 = LONG_MIN, m2 = LONG_MIN, m3 = LONG_MIN;
        for (int& num : nums) {
            if (num == m1 || num == m2 || num == m3) continue;
            if (num > m1) {
                m3 = m2;
                m2 = m1;
                m1 = num;
            } else if (num > m2) {
                m3 = m2;
                m2 = num;
            } else if (num > m3) {
                m3 = num;
            }
        }
        return (int) (m3 == LONG_MIN ? m1 : m3);
    }
};

Go

import "math"

func thirdMax(nums []int) int {
	m1, m2, m3 := math.MinInt64, math.MinInt64, math.MinInt64
	for _, num := range nums {
		if num == m1 || num == m2 || num == m3 {
			continue
		}
		if num > m1 {
			m3, m2, m1 = m2, m1, num
		} else if num > m2 {
			m3, m2 = m2, num
		} else if num > m3 {
			m3 = num
		}
	}
