Count of strings with frequency of each character at most X and length at least Y

Given an array arr[] of strings and integers X and Y, the task is to find the count of strings with frequency of each character at most X and length of the string at least Y.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = { “ab”, “derdee”, “erre” }, X = 2, Y = 4
Output: 1
Explanation: Strings with character frequency at most 2 and 
length at least 4 is “erre”. Hence count is 1

Input: arr[] = {“ag”, “ka”, “nanana”}, X = 3, Y = 2
Output: 3

Approach: Follow the approach mentioned below to solve the problem:

• Traverse the array of string, and for each string follow the steps below.
• Create a frequency map of characters.
• Whenever any character has a frequency greater than X, or length less than Y, skip the current string.
• If no character has frequency more than X, and length at least Y, increment the count of answer.
• Return the count stored in answer when all the strings are traversed.

using namespace std;

// Function to check if
// the string has
// frequency of each character
// less than X
bool isValid(string s, int X)
{
    vector<int> freq(26, 0);

    // Loop to check the frequency
    // of each character in the string
    for (char c : s) {
        freq++;
    }

    // Loop to check
    // if the frequency of all characters
    // are at most X
    for (int i = 0; i < 26; i++)
        if (freq[i] > X)
            return false;
    return true;
}

// Function to calculate the count of strings
int getCount(vector<string>& arr, int X, int Y)
{
    int ans = 0;

    // Loop to iterate the string array
    for (string st : arr) {
        if (isValid(st, X) && st.length() >= Y) {
