   Boyer and Moore’s MJRTY algorithm (1980)
   Determines the majority, if any, of a multiset of n votes.
   Uses at most 2n comparisons and constant extra space (3 variables).

   Changes w.r.t. the article above:
   - arrays are 0-based
   - we assume the input array to have at least one element
   - we use 2x <= y instead of x <= floor(y/2), which is equivalent
