    414 - Third Maximum Number.

    Easy

    Given an integer array nums, return the third distinct maximum number in this array. If the third maximum does not exist, return the maximum number.

    Example 1:

    Input: nums = [3,2,1]

    Output: 1

    Explanation: The first distinct maximum is 3. The second distinct maximum is 2. The third distinct maximum is 1.

    Example 2:

    Input: nums = [1,2]

    Output: 2

    Explanation: The first distinct maximum is 2. The second distinct maximum is 1. The third distinct maximum does not exist, so the maximum (2) is returned instead.

    Example 3:

    Input: nums = [2,2,3,1]

    Output: 1

    Explanation: The first distinct maximum is 3. The second distinct maximum is 2 (both 2’s are counted together since they have the same value). The third distinct maximum is 1.

    Constraints:

    • 1 <= nums.length <= 104
    • -231 <= nums[i] <= 231 - 1
