Solution: Third Maximum Number

Explore how to determine the third distinct maximum element in an integer array by using a min heap and set data structure. Understand how to handle duplicates, maintain top three values, and apply this approach efficiently with O(N) time and constant space complexity in Go.

Statement

Given an integer array nums, determine and return the third distinct maximum element in the array. If the array contains fewer than three distinct elements, return the maximum element instead.

Constraints:

  • 1<=1 <= ...
