1157.online-majority-element-in-subarray

implementing the class MajorityChecker, which has the following API:

  • MajorityChecker(int[] arr) constructs an instance of MajorityChecker with the given array arr;
  • int query(int left, int right, int threshold) has arguments such that:
    • 0 <= left <= right < arr.length representing a subarray of arr;
    • 2 * threshold > right - left + 1, ie. the threshold is always a strict majority of the length of the subarray

Each query(...) returns the element in arr[left], arr[left+1], ..., arr[right] that occurs at least threshold times, or -1 if no such element exists.

Example:

MajorityChecker majorityChecker = new MajorityChecker([1,1,2,2,1,1]);
majorityChecker.query(0,5,4); // returns 1
majorityChecker.query(0,3,3); // returns -1
majorityChecker.query(2,3,2); // returns 2

Constraints:

  • 1 <= arr.length <= 20000
  • 1 <= arr[i] <= 20000
  • For each query, 0 <= left <= right < len(arr)
  • For each query, 2 * threshold > right - left + 1
  • The number of queries is at most 10000
