Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given the input list of integers [5, 3, 5, 2, 5, 6, 6], develop a solution to find the top 2 frequent elements, explaining each step of your reasoning.
💡 Hint: Track numbers while counting, and effectively compare frequencies while maintaining k elements.
How would your algorithm change if k is greater than the unique elements in the array? Design your approach according to such a potential scenario.
💡 Hint: Consider the edge case when the pool is smaller than your demand.
