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
