Problem: Third Maximum Number
Medium
30 min
Understand how to solve the problem of finding the third distinct maximum element in an integer array. This lesson teaches you to handle edge cases where fewer than three distinct elements exist and guides you through efficient problem-solving techniques using logical building blocks and hands-on coding practice.
Statement
Given an integer array, nums, determine and return the third distinct maximum element in the array. If the array contains fewer than three distinct elements, return the maximum element instead.
Constraints:
nums.lengthnums[i]
