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

**Follow up:** Can you find an `O(n)` solution?
