Generate two output strings depending upon occurrence of character in input string.

Given an input string str[], generate two output strings. One of which consists of those character which occurs only once in input string and second which consists of multi-time occurring characters. Output strings must be sorted.

Examples:

Input : str[] = "geeksforgeeks"
Output : String with characters occurring once:
for
String with characters occurring multiple times:
egks

Input : str[] = "geekspractice"
Output : String with characters occurring once:
agikprst
String with characters occurring multiple times:
ce

Recommended: Please try your approach on {IDE} first, before moving on to the solution.

Approach : We follow total two steps to generate the both output strings.
Step 1: Create a count array and count occurrences of characters in the given input string.
Step 2: Check count array for each position ‘i’ which leads to three possible conditions :
a) If count value is 1, append character in first output string.
b) If count value is greater than 1, append character in second output string.
c) If count value is 0 do nothing.

Time Complexity for above approach is O(n).
Auxiliary Space required is O(1).
