Count the elements having frequency equals to its value

Count the elements having frequency equals to its value | Set 2

Last Updated : 09 Oct, 2020

Given an array of integers arr[] of size N, the task is to count all the elements of the array which have a frequency equals to its value.
Examples:

Input: arr[] = {3, 2, 2, 3, 4, 3}
Output: 2
Explanation :
Frequency of element 2 is 2
Frequency of element 3 is 3
Frequency of element 4 is 1
2 and 3 are elements which have same frequency as it’s value

Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Output: 1

Approach: Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

Store the frequencies of every array element with the value less than equal to the given array size in freq[] array.
The reason for the above step is that the frequency of an element can be at most equal to the size of the given array. Hence, there is no need to store the frequency of an element, whose value is greater than the given array size.
Count the integers having frequencies equal to its value.
Print the final count.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program of the 
// above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the integer
// which has a frequency in the
// array equal to its value.
void solve(int arr[], int n)
{
    // Store frequency of array
    // elements
    int freq[n+1] ={0};
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
        // Store the frequency
        // only if arr[i]<=n
        if (arr[i] <= n)
            freq[arr[i]]++;
    }
 
    // Initially the count is zero
    int count = 0;
 
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
        // If the freq[i] is equal
        // to i, then increment
        // the count by 1
        if (i == freq[i]) {
            count++;
        }
    }
 
    // Print the final count
    cout << count << "\n";
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 3, 1, 1, 3, 2, 2, 3 };
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
 
    solve(arr, N);
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program of the 
// above approach
class GFG{
 
// Function to find the integer
// which has a frequency in the
// array equal to its value.
static void solve(int arr[], 
                  int n)
{
  // Store frequency of array
  // elements
  int []freq = new int[n + 1];
 
  for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) 
  {
    // Store the frequency
    // only if arr[i]<=n
    if (arr[i] <= n)
      freq[arr[i]]++;
  }
 
  // Initially the count is zero
  int count = 0;
 
  for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) 
  {
    // If the freq[i] is equal
    // to i, then increment
    // the count by 1
    if (i == freq[i]) 
    {
      count++;
    }
  }
 
  // Print the final count
  System.out.print(count + "\n");
}
 
// Driver Code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
  int arr[] = {3, 1, 1, 3, 2, 2, 3};
  int N = arr.length;
  solve(arr, N);
}
}

Time Complexity: O(N)
Auxiliary Space: O(N)
