347. Top K Frequent Elements

Medium

Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return the k most frequent elements. You may return the answer in any order.

Example 1:

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

Output: [1,2]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1], k = 1

Output: [1]

Constraints:

Follow up: Your algorithm’s time complexity must be better than O(n log n), where n is the array’s size.

Solution

class Solution {
  List<int> topKFrequent(List<int> nums, int k) {
    Map<int, int> freq = {} ;
    int n = nums.length ;
    for(int i in nums)freq[i]=(freq[i] ?? 0) + 1;
    List<List<int>> cont=
            List.generate(n+1, (i) => [], growable: false);
    freq.forEach((k, v) => cont[v].add(k));
    List<int> res=[];

    for(int i=n; i>0; i--)
      if(cont[i]!= null)
        for(int j in cont[i]){
      res.add(j);
      k--;
      if(k ==0)return res;
    }
    return res;
  }
}
