The frequency of an element in an array is the count of the occurrence of that particular element in the whole array. Given an array that may contain duplicates, print all repeated/duplicate elements and their frequencies.

Below is the discussion of this program by two approaches:

  1. Using a counter array: By maintaining a separate array to maintain the count of each element.
  2. Using HashMap: By updating the count of each array element in the HashMap<Integer, Integer>.

Example :

Input :  arr[] = {1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 5, 2}
Output : 1 3
         2 4
// here we will not print 5 as it is not repeated 

Input : arr[] = {1, 2, 3}
Output : NULL

// output will be NULL as no element is repeated.

Method 1:  (using counter array)

Explanation :

  • The array can be sorted as well as unsorted.
  • First, count all the numbers in the array by using another array.
  • A be an array, A[ ] = {1, 6 ,4 ,6, 4, 8, 2, 4, 1, 1}
  • B be a Counter array  B[x] = {0}, where x = max in array A "for above example 8".
  • In a for loop, initialized with i. Increase value in counter array for every element in array A.
  • B [ A [i] ]++; this will give counter array as
Array B after counting elements
  • Finally print the index of B with its element whenever the element is greater than 1.
Java 
// Java program to count the frequency of
// elements in an array by using an extra
// counter array of size equal to the maximum
// element of an array

import java.io.*;

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        int A[] = { 1, 6, 4, 6, 4, 8, 2, 4, 1, 1 };

        int max = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
        for (int i = 0; i < A.length; i++) {
            if (A[i] > max)
                max = A[i];
        }

        int B[] = new int[max + 1];
        for (int i = 0; i < A.length; i++) {

            // increment in array B for every integer
            // in A.
            B[A[i]]++;
        }
        for (int i = 0; i <= max; i++) {
            // output only if element is more than
            // 1 time in array A.
            if (B[i] > 1)
                System.out.println(i + "-" + B[i]);
        }
    }
}

Output:

1-3
4-3
6-2

The above approach can consume more space which is equal to the maximum constraint of the element of array

Time Complexity: O(n)

Space Complexity: O(K) where K is the maximum element/constraint of an array

Method 2: (Using HashMap)

  • It is a simple method and has a base logic, you can do it by using an unordered Map as well.
  • The map will save a lot of space and time.
Java 
// Java program to maintain
// the count of each element
// by using map.
import java.util.*;

class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        int[] a = { 1, 6, 4, 6, 4, 8, 2, 4, 1, 1 };
        int n = a.length; // size of array

        HashMap<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {

            if (map.containsKey(a[i])) {

                // if element is already in map
                // then increase the value of element at
                // index by 1

                int c = map.get(a[i]);
                map.replace(a[i], c + 1);
            }

            // if element is not in map than assign it by 1.
            else
                map.put(a[i], 1);
        }
        for (Map.Entry<Integer, Integer> i :
             map.entrySet()) {

            // print only if count of element is greater
            // than 1.
            if (i.getValue() > 1)
                System.out.println(i.getKey() + " "
                                   + i.getValue());

            else
                continue;
        }
    }
}

Output
1 3
4 3
6 2

Time Complexity: O(n)

Space Complexity: O(n)
