+Given an array A of size n, find an element that occurs more than n/2 times
+
+MOORE VOTING ALGORITHM
+
+In this algo every element votes for itself. If a different element in encountered then the vote collected
+for previous element is used to cancel out the vote for this element.
+When votes is zero and new element is found voter changes
+The number of votes have to be greater than or equal to 1 to satisfy the condition given in the problem
+always
+If it is greater than or equal to one, we loop the array again to find how many times is the voter occuring.
