LeetCode 414 Third Maximum Number

Given a non-empty array of integers, return the third maximum number in this array. If it does not exist, return the maximum number. The time complexity must be in O(n).

Example 1: Input: [3, 2, 1]

Output: 1

Explanation: The third maximum is 1. Example 2: Input: [1, 2]

Output: 2

Explanation: The third maximum does not exist, so the maximum (2) is returned instead. Example 3: Input: [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.

func thirdMax(_ nums: [Int]) -> Int {
    var nums = nums.sorted()
    var tmp = 2
    var max = 0
    for i in (0..<nums.count).reversed() {
        if i-1 >= 0 && nums[i-1] < nums[i] {
            tmp -= 1
            if tmp == 0 {
                max = nums[i-1]
            }
        }
    }
    return tmp <= 0 ? max : nums[nums.count-1]
}
