EasyArraysHash map

Given an array nums of size n, return the majority element: the value that appears more than n / 2 times. The array always has one.

Can you do it in O(n) time and O(1) extra space?

Examples

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

Constraints

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