Solution: H-Index

Understand how to find a researcher's h-index by using a counting sort-based method. This lesson guides you through leveraging a frequency array to count citations and efficiently determine the h-index without full sorting, optimizing time and space complexity.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

You are given an array of integers citations, where each element citations[i] represents the number of citations received for the ithi^{th} publication of a researcher.

Your task is to find the researcher’s h-index and return the value of hh.

Note: The h-index is defined as the highest number hh such that the given researcher has published at least hh papers, each of which has been cited at least hh times.

Constraints:

  • n==n == citations.length

  • ...
