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.思路比较简单,先统计再排序。
注意有可能出现相同频率的,所以说用一个list组成的array来进行排序。
public class Solution {
public String frequencySort(String s) {
if(s == null ){
return null;
}
if(s.length() == 0){
return "";
}
Map<Character, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
int max = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++){
char c = s.charAt(i);
if(map.containsKey(c)){
map.put(c, map.get(c) + 1);
}else{
map.put(c, 1);
}
max = Math.max(max, map.get(c) );
}
List<Character>[] list = new List[max + 1];
for (Character c : map.keySet()) {
int count = map.get(c);
if(list[count] == null){
list[count] = new ArrayList();
}
list[count].add(c);
}
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for(int i = list.length - 1; i >= 0; i--){
if(list[i] != null){
for(Character c : list[i]){
for(int j = 0; j < i; j++){
sb.append(c);
}
}
}
}
return sb.toString();
}
}
