Elements of first array that have more frequencies
Given two arrays (which may or may not be sorted). There arrays are such that they might have some common elements in them. We need to find elements whose counts of occurrences are more in first array than second.
Examples:
Input : ar1[] = {1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5}
ar2[] = {2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4}
Output : 1 2 5
1 occurs one times in first and zero times in second
2 occurs three times in first and two times in second
............................
Input : ar1[] = {1, 3, 4, 2, 3}
ar2[] = {3, 4, 5}
Output : 3
The idea is to use hashing. We traverse first array and insert all elements and their frequencies in a hash table. Now we traverse through the second array and reduce frequencies in hash table for the common elements. Now we traverse through first array again and print those elements whose frequencies are still more than 0. To avoid repeated printing of same elements, we set frequency as 0.
C++
// C++ program to print all those elements of // first array that have more frequencies than // second array. #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; // Compares two intervals according to staring times. void moreFreq(int ar1[], int ar2[], int m, int n) { // Traverse first array and store frequencies // of all elements unordered_map<int, int> mp; for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) mp[ar1[i]]++; // Traverse second array and reduce frequencies // of common elements. for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) if (mp.find(ar2[i]) != mp.end()) mp[ar2[i]]--; // Now traverse first array again and print // all those elements whose frequencies are // more than 0. To avoid repeated printing, // we set frequency as 0 after printing. for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) { if (mp[ar1[i]] > 0) { cout << ar1[i] << " "; mp[ar1[i]] = 0; } } } // Driver code int main() { int ar1[] = { 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5 }; int ar2[] = { 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4 }; int m = sizeof(ar1) / sizeof(ar1[0]); int n = sizeof(ar2) / sizeof(ar2[0]); moreFreq(ar1, ar2, m, n); return 0; } |

Time Complexity : O(m + n) under the assumption that unordered_map find() and insert() work in O(1) time.
