Problem: Kth Largest Element in an Array

Medium
30 min
Explore the top k elements pattern to identify and return the kth largest element in an integer array. Understand problem constraints and implement an efficient solution using heaps within a coding playground.

Statement

Given an integer array, nums, and an integer, k, determine and return the kth largest element in the array.

Note: The kth largest element is defined with respect to the array’s sorted order (descending), and does not necessarily correspond to the kth unique value.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq k \leq nums.length 103\leq 10^3

  • 104-10^4 \leq nums[i] 104\leq 10^4
