2404. Most Frequent Even Element

Description

Given an integer array nums, return the most frequent even element.

If there is a tie, return the smallest one. If there is no such element, return -1.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [0,1,2,2,4,4,1]
Output: 2
Explanation:
The even elements are 0, 2, and 4. Of these, 2 and 4 appear the most.
We return the smallest one, which is 2.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [4,4,4,9,2,4]
Output: 4
Explanation: 4 is the even element appears the most.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [29,47,21,41,13,37,25,7]
Output: -1
Explanation: There is no even element.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 2000
  • 0 <= nums[i] <= 105

Solutions

Solution 1: Hash Table

We use a hash table $cnt$ to count the occurrence of all even elements, and then find the even element with the highest occurrence and the smallest value.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$. Here, $n$ is the length of the array.

                cnt.merge(x, 1, Integer::sum);
