2404. Most Frequent Even Element
Given an integer array
nums, return the most frequent even element.If there is a tie, return the smallest one. If there is no such element, return
-1.Example 1:
Input: nums = [0,1,2,2,4,4,1]
Output: 2
Explanation:
The even elements are 0, 2, and 4. Of these, 2 and 4 appear the most.
We return the smallest one, which is 2.Example 2:
Input: nums = [4,4,4,9,2,4]
Output: 4
Explanation: 4 is the even element appears the most.Example 3:
Input: nums = [29,47,21,41,13,37,25,7]
Output: -1
Explanation: There is no even element.
def mostFrequentEven(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
counter = {}
for i in nums:
if i % 2 == 0:
if i in counter:
counter[i] += 1
else:
counter[i] = 1
if not counter:
return -1
candidate = []
max_value = max(counter.values())
for k, v in counter.items():
if v == max_value:
candidate.append(k)
return min(candidate)
