Problem: Top K Frequent Elements

Explore how to find the top K frequent elements in an integer array using a min heap approach in JavaScript. Understand frequency mapping and maintain a heap of size K to track elements by frequency efficiently, achieving better than O(n log n) time complexity. This lesson helps you solidify heap usage and performance optimization in solving frequency-based problems.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

You are given an integer array nums and an integer k. Your task is to find the k elements that appear most frequently in nums. The result may be returned in any order.

Note: As a follow up, try to design an algorithm with time complexity better than O(nlog⁡n)O(n \log n), where nn is the size of the array.

Constraints:

  • 1≤1 \leq nums.length ≤105\leq 10^5

  • −104≤-10^4 \leq nums[i] ...
