Explanation
- The Boyer-Moore Majority Vote Algorithm is used to find the **majority element** (the element that appears more than n/2 times) in an array.

-
Steps
- Initialize a
candidateand acount. - Traverse the array. If the
countis 0, set thecandidateto the current element. - If the current element is the same as the
candidate, incrementcount; otherwise, decrementcount. - After the traversal, the
candidateis the majority element.

Time Complexity
- O(n), where
nis the number of elements in the array.
- O(n), where
