Count elements present in first array but not in second

Given two arrays (which may or may not be sorted) of sizes M and N respectively. There arrays are such that they might have some common elements in them. You need to count the number of elements whose occurrences are more in first array than second.

Examples:

Input : arr1[] = {41, 43, 45, 50}, M = 4
arr2[] = {55, 67, 65, 61, 62}, N = 5
Output : 4
Explanation:
arr1[] contains 41, 43, 45, 50 with frequency all having 1
arr2[] does not contain any such element which is common in both hence count will be 4

Input : arr1[] = {40, 45, 56, 60}, M = 4
arr2[] = {40, 45, 56, 58}, N = 4
Output : 1
Explanation:
arr1[] contains 40, 45, 56, 60 with frequency all having 1
arr2[] contains 3 elements in common with arr1[] which are 40, 45, 56
but not 60 hence count becomes 1

The idea is to use a hash map and keep the count of frequency of numbers in the first array. While traversing the second array reduce the count in the map for every integer encountered. Now count the elements whose frequency is more than 0 otherwise return 0.

C++

// C++ to count number of elements present in arr1 whose 
// occurrence is more than in arr2 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
int Largercount(int arr1[], int arr2[], int m, int n) 
{ 
    bool f = false; 
    int count = 0; 
  
    // map to store frequency of elements present in arr1 
    unordered_map<int, int> mp; 
  
    // frequency of elements of arr1 is calulated 
    for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) 
        mp[arr1[i]]++; 
  
    // check if the elements of arr2 
    // is present in arr2 or not 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) 
        if (mp.find(arr2[i]) != mp.end() && mp[arr2[i]] != 0) 
            mp[arr2[i]]--; 
  
    // count the elements of arr1 whose 
    // frequency is more than arr2 
    for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) { 
        if (mp[arr1[i]] != 0) { 
            count++; 
            mp[arr1[i]] = 0; 
        } 
    } 
  
    return count; 
}

{ 
    int arr1[] = { 2, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6, 8, 9 }; 
    int arr2[] = { 2, 2, 4, 6, 6 }; 
    cout << Largercount(arr1, arr2, 8, 5); 
    return 0; 
}
