Given a string, sort it in decreasing order based on the frequency of characters.
Example 1:
Input: "tree" Output: "eert" Explanation: 'e' appears twice while 'r' and 't' both appear once. So 'e' must appear before both 'r' and 't'. Therefore "eetr" is also a valid answer.
Example 2:
Input: "cccaaa" Output: "cccaaa" Explanation: Both 'c' and 'a' appear three times, so "aaaccc" is also a valid answer. Note that "cacaca" is incorrect, as the same characters must be together.
Example 3:
Input: "Aabb" Output: "bbAa" Explanation: "bbaA" is also a valid answer, but "Aabb" is incorrect. Note that 'A' and 'a' are treated as two different characters.
class Solution { /** * @param String $s * @return String */ function frequencySort($s) { $c = []; for($i = 0 ; $i < strlen($s); $i++){ $char = $s[$i]; $c[$char] ++; } arsort($c); $result = ""; foreach($c as $k => $v){ while($v > 0){ $result .= $k; $v --; } } return $result; } }
well, PHP is actually pretty good at this.
Doing same thing in Java is quite annoying (typing speed matters)
