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:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 105
• k is in the range [1, the number of unique elements in the array].
• It is guaranteed that the answer is unique.

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

Solution

import scala.collection.mutable

object Solution {
    def topKFrequent(nums: Array[Int], k: Int): Array[Int] = {
        val freqMap = mutable.HashMap.empty[Int, Int]
        for (n <- nums) {
            freqMap.put(n, freqMap.getOrElse(n, 0) + 1)
        }
        val bucket = new Array[List[Int]](nums.length + 1)
        for ((key, freq) <- freqMap) {
            Option(bucket(freq)) match {
                case Some(value) => bucket.update(freq, key :: value)
                case None => bucket.update(freq, List(key))
            }
        }
        val res = new Array[Int](k)
        var counter = 0
        var pos = bucket.length - 1
        while (pos >= 0 && counter < k) {
            if (bucket(pos) != null) {
                for (integer <- bucket(pos)) {
                    res(counter) = integer
                    counter += 1
                }
            }
            pos -= 1
        }
        res
    }
}
