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
  • -104 <= nums[i] <= 104
  • 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.





 class Solution:
    def topKFrequent(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> List[int]:

        # c = Counter(nums)
        # a = [key for key, _ in c.most_common(k) ]
        # return a

        items = {}
        for num in nums:
            items[num] = items.get(num, 0)+1

        q = sorted(list(items.keys()), key=lambda x: -items[x])
        return q[:k]
