Given a non-empty array of integers, return the third maximum number in this array. If it does not exist, return the maximum number. The time complexity must be in O(n).

Example 1:
Input: [3, 2, 1]

Output: 1

Explanation: The third maximum is 1.
Example 2:
Input: [1, 2]

Output: 2

Explanation: The third maximum does not exist, so the maximum (2) is returned instead.
Example 3:
Input: [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.

本提题意就是寻找第三大的数据,这里我们使用一个set来表示,注意set是一个高度平衡的二叉搜索树,所以注意set数据结构的使用

set–常见成员函数及基本用法

代码如下:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <map>
#include <set>
#include <queue>
#include <stack>
#include <string>
#include <climits>
#include <algorithm>
#include <sstream>
#include <bitset>

using namespace std;

class Solution
{
public:
    int thirdMax(vector<int>& nums)
    {
        set<int> ss;
        for (int i : nums)
        {
            ss.insert(i);
            if (ss.size() > 3)
                ss.erase(ss.begin());
        }
        if(ss.size()==3)
            return *(ss.begin());
        else
            return *(ss.rbegin());
    }
};
