    911 - Online Election.

    Medium

    You are given two integer arrays persons and times. In an election, the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> vote was cast for persons[i] at time times[i].

    For each query at a time t, find the person that was leading the election at time t. Votes cast at time t will count towards our query. In the case of a tie, the most recent vote (among tied candidates) wins.

    Implement the TopVotedCandidate class:

    • TopVotedCandidate(int[] persons, int[] times) Initializes the object with the persons and times arrays.

    • int q(int t) Returns the number of the person that was leading the election at time t according to the mentioned rules.

    Example 1:

    Input "TopVotedCandidate", "q", "q", "q", "q", "q", "q" [[0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30], 3, 12, 25, 15, 24, 8]

    Output: null, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1

    Explanation:

    TopVotedCandidate topVotedCandidate = new TopVotedCandidate([0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0], [0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30]);
    topVotedCandidate.q(3); // return 0, At time 3, the votes are [0], and 0 is leading.
    topVotedCandidate.q(12); // return 1, At time 12, the votes are [0,1,1], and 1 is leading.
    topVotedCandidate.q(25); // return 1, At time 25, the votes are [0,1,1,0,0,1], and 1 is leading (as ties go to the most recent vote.)
    topVotedCandidate.q(15); // return 0
    topVotedCandidate.q(24); // return 0
    topVotedCandidate.q(8); // return 1

    Constraints:

    • 1 &lt;= persons.length &lt;= 5000

    • times.length == persons.length

    • 0 &lt;= persons[i] &lt; persons.length

    • <code>0 <= timesi<= 10<sup>9</sup></code>

    • times is sorted in a strictly increasing order.

    • <code>times0<= t <= 10<sup>9</sup></code>

    • At most <code>10<sup>4</sup></code> calls will be made to q.
