Kth Largest Data Stream

Design a class to find thekth largest element in a stream. Note that it is the kth largest element in the sorted order, not the kth distinct element.

Your KthLargest class will have a constructor which accepts an integerkand an integer arraynums, which contains initial elements from the stream. For each call to the methodKthLargest.add, return the element representing the kth largest element in the stream.

Example

int k = 3;
int[] arr = [4,5,8,2];
KthLargest kthLargest = new KthLargest(3, arr);
kthLargest.add(3);   // returns 4
kthLargest.add(5);   // returns 5
kthLargest.add(10);  // returns 5
kthLargest.add(9);   // returns 8
kthLargest.add(4);   // returns 8

Code

class KthLargest {
    final PriorityQueue<Integer> pq;
    final int k;
    public KthLargest(int k, int[] nums) {
        this.k = k;
        pq = new PriorityQueue<>(k);
        for (int num : nums) {
            add(num);
        }
    }

    public int add(int val) {
        if (pq.size() < k) {
            pq.offer(val);
        } else if (pq.peek() < val) {
            pq.poll();
            pq.offer(val);
        }

        return pq.peek();
    }
}

/**
 * Your KthLargest object will be instantiated and called as such:
 * KthLargest obj = new KthLargest(k, nums);
 * int param_1 = obj.add(val);
