Solution: Rank Teams by Votes
Explore how to rank teams based on votes by efficiently tracking each team's vote counts per position. Learn to implement a solution in Go that handles tie-breaking by using vote counts and alphabetical order. Understand the time and space complexity of the solution while practicing counting and sorting techniques for coding interviews.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Assume a ranking system where each gives a rank to all competing teams from highest to lowest. The final ranking is decided on the basis of the number of first-place votes they receive. If there’s a tie for first place, the second-place votes are used to break the tie; if there’s still a tie, the third-place votes are considered, and this continues until all positions have been evaluated. If teams remain tied after all positions have been reviewed, they are ranked alphabetically by their team names.
Given an array of strings votes that represents the rankings given by all voters, sort the teams according to the specified ranking system and return a string that lists all the teams in the ranked order.
