LeetCode-414. Third Maximum Number

Given a non-empty array of integers, return the third maximum number in this array. If it does not exist, return the maximum number. The time complexity must be in O(n).

Example 1:
Input: [3, 2, 1]

Output: 1

Explanation: The third maximum is 1.
Example 2:
Input: [1, 2]

Output: 2

Explanation: The third maximum does not exist, so the maximum (2) is returned instead.
Example 3:
Input: [2, 2, 3, 1]

Output: 1

Explanation: Note that the third maximum here means the third maximum distinct number.
Both numbers with value 2 are both considered as second maximum.

func thirdMax(_ nums: [Int]) -> Int {
    var nums = nums.sorted()
    var tmp = 2
    var max = 0
    for i in (0..= 0 && nums[i-1] < nums[i] {
            tmp -= 1
            if tmp == 0 {
                max = nums[i-1]
            }
        }
    }
    return tmp <= 0 ? max : nums[nums.count-1]
}
