https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/kth-smallest-largest-element-in-unsorted-array/

• 直接法

# 不满足O(n)题目要求
class Solution:
    def findKthLargest(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> int:
        nums.sort()
        return nums[-k]

时间复杂度：O(nlogn) 空间复杂度：O(1)

• heap/ priority queue

  • 寻找第k大的, 也就是堆里要保留前k大, 把较小的pop出去, 因此用小顶堆, python支持小顶堆.

  • 寻找第k小的, 就要用大顶堆, python取负数

# 大顶堆和小顶堆都能实现, 但复杂度不一样，nlogn 或 nlogk

class Solution:
    def findKthLargest(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> int:
        heap = []
        for num in nums:
            heapq.heappush(heap, num)

            if len(heap) > k:
                heapq.heappop(heap)
        return heap[0]

时间复杂度：O(nlog(k)) 空间复杂度：O(k)

• quick sort/ quick select

  • Quick Select 的时间复杂度会退化为 O(n^2), 优化方法: 随机pivot, 三数取中法（Median of Medians）

def partition(nums, l, r, pivot_index):
    # build-in change the nums, and return the position
    # l含义: 第一个比pivot大的位置
    pivot = nums[pivot_index]
    nums[pivot_index], nums[r] = nums[r], nums[pivot_index]
    i = l
    for j in range(l, r):
        if nums[j] < pivot:
            nums[i], nums[j] = nums[j], nums[i]
            i += 1
    nums[i], nums[r] = nums[r], nums[i]
    return i

class Solution:
    def findKthLargest(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> int:
        l = 0
        r = len(nums) - 1
        return self.quick_select(nums, l, r, k)

        while True:  # 如果只有一个元素, 确实不符合 l < r
            pivot_index = random.randint(l, r)
            pos = partition(nums, l, r, pivot_index)
            if pos == len(nums) - k:
                return nums[pos]
            elif pos > len(nums) - k:
                r = pos - 1
            else:
                l = pos + 1

    def quick_select2(self, nums, l, r, k):
        # 分治
        p = partition(nums, l, r, r)

        if p == k - 1:
          return nums[p]

        if p > k - 1:  # search lower part
          return self.quick_select2(nums, k, l, p - 1)

        # search higher part
        return self.quick_select2(nums, k, p + 1, r)

• binary search

    count = 0
