A string s
is called good if there are no two different characters in s
that have the same frequency.
Given a string s
, return the minimum number of characters you need to delete to make s
good.
The frequency of a character in a string is the number of times it appears in the string. For example, in the string "aab"
, the frequency of 'a'
is 2
, while the frequency of 'b'
is 1
.
Example 1:
Input: s = "aab"
Output: 0
Explanation: s is already good.
Example 2:
Input: s = "aaabbbcc"
Output: 2
Explanation: You can delete two 'b's resulting in the good string "aaabcc".
Another way it to delete one 'b' and one 'c' resulting in the good string "aaabbc".
Example 3:
Input: s = "ceabaacb"
Output: 2
Explanation: You can delete both 'c's resulting in the good string "eabaab".
Note that we only care about characters that are still in the string at the end (i.e. frequency of 0 is ignored).
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 105
s
contains only lowercase English letters.
如果字符串 s 中 不存在 两个不同字符 频次 相同的情况,就称 s 是 优质字符串 。
给你一个字符串 s,返回使 s 成为优质字符串需要删除的最小字符数。
字符串中字符的 频次 是该字符在字符串中的出现次数。例如,在字符串 "aab" 中,'a' 的频次是 2,而 'b' 的频次是 1 。
提示:
1 <= s.length <= 105
s
仅含小写英文字母
- 给出一个字符串 s,要求输出使 s 变成“优质字符串”需要删除的最小字符数。“优质字符串”的定义是:字符串 s 中不存在频次相同的两个不同字符。
- 首先将 26 个字母在字符串中的频次分别统计出来,然后把频次从大到小排列,从频次大的开始,依次调整:例如,假设前一个和后一个频次相等,就把前一个字符删除一个,频次减一,再次排序,如果频次还相等,继续调整,如果频次不同了,游标往后移,继续调整后面的频次。直到所有的频次都不同了,就可以输出最终结果了。
- 这里需要注意频次为 0 的情况,即字母都被删光了。频次为 0 以后,就不需要再比较了。
