Given an array of integers arr
and an integer k
.
A value arr[i]
is said to be stronger than a value arr[j]
if |arr[i] - m| > |arr[j] - m|
where m
is the
median of the array.
If |arr[i] - m| == |arr[j] - m|
, then arr[i]
is said to be
stronger than arr[j]
if arr[i] > arr[j]
.
Return a list of the strongest k
values in the array. return
the answer in any arbitrary order.
Median is the middle value in an ordered integer list. More
formally, if the length of the list is n, the median is the element in position
((n - 1) / 2)
in the sorted list (0-indexed).
arr = [6, -3, 7, 2, 11]
, n = 5
and the
median is obtained by sorting the array arr = [-3, 2, 6, 7,
11]
and the median is arr[m]
where m = ((5 - 1) /
2) = 2
. The median is 6
.
arr = [-7, 22, 17, 3]
, n = 4
and the
median is obtained by sorting the array arr = [-7, 3, 17, 22]
and the median is arr[m]
where m = ((4 - 1) / 2) = 1
.
The median is 3
.
Example 1:
Input: arr = [1,2,3,4,5], k = 2 Output: [5,1] Explanation: Median is 3, the elements of the array sorted by the strongest are [5,1,4,2,3]. The strongest 2 elements are [5, 1]. [1, 5] is also accepted answer. Please note that although |5 - 3| == |1 - 3| but 5 is stronger than 1 because 5 > 1.
Example 2:
Input: arr = [1,1,3,5,5], k = 2 Output: [5,5] Explanation: Median is 3, the elements of the array sorted by the strongest are [5,5,1,1,3]. The strongest 2 elements are [5, 5].
Example 3:
Input: arr = [6,7,11,7,6,8], k = 5 Output: [11,8,6,6,7] Explanation: Median is 7, the elements of the array sorted by the strongest are [11,8,6,6,7,7]. Any permutation of [11,8,6,6,7] is accepted.
Example 4:
Input: arr = [6,-3,7,2,11], k = 3 Output: [-3,11,2]
Example 5:
Input: arr = [-7,22,17,3], k = 2 Output: [22,17]
Constraints:
1 <= arr.length <= 10^5
-10^5 <= arr[i] <= 10^5
1 <= k <= arr.length
