Majority Element

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.

Solution:

public class Solution {
    public int majorityElement(int[] nums) {
        int num=0, count=0;
        for(int n : nums){
            if(n==num) count++;
            else if(count==0){
                num = n;
                count = 1;
            } else count--;
        }
        return num;
    }
}
