414. Third Maximum Number (Easy)

Given integer array nums, return the third maximum number in this array. If the third maximum does not exist, return the maximum number.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [3,2,1]
Output: 1
Explanation: The third maximum is 1.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2]
Output: 2
Explanation: The third maximum does not exist, so the maximum (2) is returned instead.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [2,2,3,1]
Output: 1
Explanation: Note that the third maximum here means the third maximum distinct number.
Both numbers with value 2 are both considered as second maximum.

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 104
• -231 <= nums[i] <= 231 - 1

 

Follow up: Can you find an O(n) solution?
