kth-largest-element-in-an-array.py

# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-


# Find the kth 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.
