Count words that appear exactly two times in an array of words

Given an array of n words. Some words are repeated twice, we need to count such words. 

Examples: 

Input : s[] = {"hate", "love", "peace", "love", 
               "peace", "hate", "love", "peace", 
               "love", "peace"};
Output : 1
There is only one word "hate" that appears twice

Input : s[] = {"Om", "Om", "Shankar", "Tripathi", 
                "Tom", "Jerry", "Jerry"};
Output : 2
There are two words "Om" and "Jerry" that appear
twice.

// C++ program to count all words with count
// exactly 2.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Returns count of words with frequency
// exactly 2.
int countWords(string str[], int n)
{
    unordered_map<string, int> m;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        m[str[i]] += 1;

    int res = 0;
    for (auto it = m.begin(); it != m.end(); it++)
        if ((it->second == 2))
            res++;

    return res;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    string s[] = { "hate", "love", "peace", "love",
                   "peace", "hate", "love", "peace",
                   "love", "peace" };
    int n = sizeof(s) / sizeof(s[0]);
    cout << countWords(s, n);
    return 0;

Method 2: Using Built-in Python functions:

• Count the frequencies of every word using the Counter function
• Traverse in frequency dictionary
• Check which word has frequency 2. If so, increase the count
• Print Count

Below is the implementation:

Python

# importing Counter from collections
from collections import Counter

# Python program to count all words with count exactly 2.
# Returns count of words with frequency exactly 2.
def countWords(stri, n):

    # Calculating frequency using Counter
    m = Counter(stri)

    count = 0
    # Traversing in freq dictionary
    for i in m:
        if m[i] == 2:
            count += 1

    return count

# Driver code
s = ["hate", "love", "peace", "love",
     "peace", "hate", "love", "peace",
     "love", "peace"]
n = len(s)
print(countWords(s, n))
