/**
 * 169. Majority Element
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/majority-element/
 * Given an array of size n, find the majority element.
 * The majority element is the element that appears more than ⌊ n/2 ⌋ times.
You may assume that the array is non-empty and the majority element always exist in the array.
Example 1:
Input: [3,2,3]
Output: 3

Example 2:
Input: [2,2,1,1,1,2,2]
Output: 2
