274. H-Index

Medium

Given an array of integers citations where citations[i] is the number of citations a researcher received for their ith paper, return compute the researcher’s h-index.

According to the definition of h-index on Wikipedia: A scientist has an index h if h of their n papers have at least h citations each, and the other n − h papers have no more than h citations each.

If there are several possible values for h, the maximum one is taken as the h-index.

Example 1:

Input: citations = [3,0,6,1,5]

Output: 3

Explanation:

[3,0,6,1,5] means the researcher has 5 papers in total and each of them had received 3, 0, 6, 1, 5 citations respectively.
Since the researcher has 3 papers with at least 3 citations each and the remaining two with no more than 3 citations each, their h-index is 3. 

Example 2:

Input: citations = [1,3,1]

Output: 1

Constraints:

Solution

public class Solution {
    public int hIndex(int[] citations) {
        int len = citations.length;
        int[] freqArray = new int[len + 1];
        for (int citation : citations) {
            freqArray[Math.min(citation, len)]++;
        }
        int totalSoFar = 0;
        for (int k = len; k >= 0; k--) {
            totalSoFar += freqArray[k];
            if (totalSoFar >= k) {
                return k;
            }
        }
        return -1;
    }
}
