     * Find the kth largest element in an unsorted array.
     * Note that it is the kth largest element in the sorted order,
     * not the kth distinct element.
     *
     * Example 1:
     *
     * Input: [3,2,1,5,6,4] and k = 2
     * Output: 5
     * Example 2:
     *
     * Input: [3,2,3,1,2,4,5,5,6] and k = 4
     * Output: 4
     * Note:
     * You may assume k is always valid, 1 ≤ k ≤ array's length.
