Kth Largest Element in an Array(快排)

Find thekth largest element in an unsorted array. Note that it is the kth largest element in the sorted order, not the kth distinct element.

Example 1:

Input:
[3,2,1,5,6,4] 
and k = 2

Output:
 5

Example 2:

Input:
[3,2,3,1,2,4,5,5,6] 
and k = 4

Output:
 4

Note: You may assume k is always valid, 1 ≤ k ≤ array's length.

分析

heapq的nlargest是返回N前N大而且倒序

class Solution:
    def findKthLargest(self, nums, k):
        """
        :type nums: List[int]
        :type k: int
        :rtype: int
        """
        heapq.heapify(nums)
        return heapq.nlargest(k,nums)[-1]

用快排做

注意partition if start==end:

        return nums\[start\] 可以没有。
class Solution:
    def findKthLargest(self, nums, k):
        """
        :type nums: List[int]
        :type k: int
        :rtype: int
        """
        if not nums:
            return -1

        ll=len(nums)
        return self.partition(nums,ll-k,0,ll-1)

    def partition(self,nums,k,start,end):
        if start==end:
            return nums[start]
        pivot,left,right = nums[start],start,end
        while left < right:
            while left<right and nums[right]>=pivot:
                right-=1
            nums[left]=nums[right]
            while left<right and nums[left]<=pivot:
                left+=1
            nums[right]=nums[left]
        nums[left] = pivot
        if left == k:
            return nums[left]
        if left > k:
            return self.partition(nums,k,start,left-1)
        else:
            return self.partition(nums, k, left+1, end)
