Solution: Kth Largest Element in an Array
Explore how to determine the kth largest element in an integer array by applying a min heap data structure. Understand the process of maintaining a collection of the k largest elements to efficiently identify the desired value without sorting the entire array. This lesson covers algorithm implementation, time and space complexity considerations, and practical coding techniques.

Statement
Given an integer array, nums, and an integer, k, determine and return the kth largest element in the array.
Note: The
kthlargest element is defined with respect to the array’s sorted order (descending), and does not necessarily correspond to thekthunique value.
Constraints:
-
knums.length -
