Array Kth Largest Element LeetCode (Kth Largest Element in an Array)

Find the kth largest element in an unsorted array. Note that it is the kth largest element in the sorted order, not the kth distinct element.

Example 1:

• Input: [3,2,1,5,6,4] and k = 2
• Output: 5

Example 2:

• Input: [3,2,3,1,2,4,5,5,6] and k = 4
• Output: 4

NOTE:

• You may assume k is always valid, 1 ≤ k ≤ array's length.
