Algorithm to find majority element
Let A be an array of n elements. An element x is said to be a majority element in A if it occurs in A more than n/2 times. Assume that the only comparisons allowed between elements are tests of equality. Give an algorithm that uses no more than 2n comparisons to determine whether the array A contains a majority element and, if so, find it.
