Problem: Top K Frequent Elements

med
30 min
Explore the top k frequent elements pattern to identify and return the most common elements in a list. Understand the problem constraints and use heap data structures to solve it efficiently. This lesson helps you build practical skills for coding interviews by applying pattern-based techniques.

Statement

Given an array of integers, arr, and an integer, k, return the kk most frequent elements.

Note: You can return the answer in any order.

Constraints:

  • 11 ≤\leq arr.length ≤\leq 10310^{3}
  • 10−410^{-4} ≤\leq arr[i] ≤\leq 10410^{4}
  • 1 ≤\leq k ≤\leq number of unique elements in an array.
  • It is guaranteed that the answer is unique.
