Given an array of size n, find the majority element. The majority element is the element that appears more than ? n/2 ? times.
You may assume that the array is non-empty and the majority element always exist in the array.

this problem and creating all test cases.
每找出两个不同的element,则成对删除。最终剩下的一定就是所求的。
(因为比别人多还有另外一种解释,就是你的票抵消了我的一部分票后,我还有剩。)
可扩展到? n/k ?的情况,每k个不同的element进行成对删除。
class Solution {
public:
int majorityElement(vector<int> &num) {
int nTimes = 0;
int candidate = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < num.size(); i ++)
{
if(nTimes == 0)//选择新的候选
{
candidate = num[i];
nTimes = 1;
}
else
{
if(candidate == num[i])
nTimes ++;
else
nTimes --;
}
}
return candidate;
}
