Hi All This is my first post to this community and so am exited. The problem is to find the no. that has maximum frequency in an array (size n) of integers.
The approach to use a hash table, itereate through array (O(n)) and keep inserting into hash table (O(1)) and then scan the hash table (O(n)) to find entry with max frequency is known. Not to mention that one more iteration is needed to find the maximum value in array so as to decide the sixe of hash table (to keep insertion perfectly O(N). I am looking for a solution which is having O(1) space complexity. The best I can think of is to sort the array in O(nlogn) and then make a pass through the array O(n) to find one with max frequency. So here time complexity is O(nlogn + n). Can we have a better solution? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
