- Majority Element
Given an array nums
of size n
, return the majority element.
The majority element is the element that appears more than ⌊n / 2⌋
times. You may assume that the majority element always exists in the array.
Example 1:
**Input:** nums = [3,2,3]
**Output:** 3
Example 2:
**Input:** nums = [2,2,1,1,1,2,2]
**Output:** 2
Constraints:
n == nums.length
1 <= n <= 5 * 10^4
-10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
Follow-up: Could you solve the problem in linear time and in O(1)
space?

JavaScript Solution
/**
* @param {number[]} nums
* @return {number}
*/
var majorityElement = function(nums) {
[res,count] = [nums[0],0]
for(let n of nums){
if(count == 0){
[res,count] = [n,1]
}else{
if(res == n){
count ++
}else{
count --
}
}
}
return res;
};
