Question:

Consider the voting problem from Exercise C-11.13, but now suppose that we know the number k < n of candidates running. Describe an O(nlog k)- time algorithm for determining who wins the election.


Data from in Exercise C-11.13

Suppose we are given an n-element sequence S such that each element in S represents a different vote for president, where each vote is given as an integer representing a particular candidate. Design an O(nlog n)- time algorithm to see who wins the election S represents, assuming the candidate with the most votes wins (even if there are O(n) candidates).
