📌 This Video Covers
Problem:
LeetCode 169 – Majority Element
This is a must-know interview problem that helps you understand:
How to identify a majority element using frequency logic
Why the majority element is guaranteed to exist
Different ways to approach the same problem
Trade-offs between time complexity and space complexity
How interviewers evaluate brute force vs optimal solutions
🧠 Problem Summary
You are given an integer array nums
The majority element appears more than ⌊n / 2⌋ times
The majority element always exists
You need to return the majority element value
🛠️ How We Solve It (Intuition + Approach)
In this video, we explain the problem using three approaches for complete understanding:
🔹 Approach 1 – Brute Force
Count occurrences of every element
Return the element whose count exceeds n / 2
Easy to understand but very slow
Not suitable for interviews
🔹 Approach 2 – Hash Map (Better Solution)
Store frequency of each element using a map
Return the element as soon as its count exceeds n / 2
Faster than brute force
Uses extra memory
🔹 Approach 3 – Sorting
Sort the array
The majority element will always be at index ⌊n / 2⌋
Simple logic
Slower than hash map due to sorting
🔧 Techniques Used
Frequency Counting
Hash Map
Sorting
Basic Array Traversal
📊 Complexity Analysis
Brute Force
Time Complexity: O(n²)
Space Complexity: O(1)
Hash Map
Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(n)
Sorting
Time Complexity: O(n log n)
Space Complexity: O(1) / O(log n)
