Java Program to find duplicate Characters in a String
This program would find out the duplicate characters in a String and would display the count of them.
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Set;
public class Details {
public void countDupChars(String str){
//Create a HashMap
Map<Character, Integer> map = new HashMap<Character, Integer>();
//Convert the String to char array
char[] chars = str.toCharArray();
/* logic: char are inserted as keys and their count
* as values. If map contains the char already then
* increase the value by 1
*/
for(Character ch:chars){
if(map.containsKey(ch)){
map.put(ch, map.get(ch)+1);
} else {
map.put(ch, 1);
}
}
//Obtaining set of keys
Set<Character> keys = map.keySet();
/* Display count of chars if it is
* greater than 1. All duplicate chars would be
* having value greater than 1.
*/
for(Character ch:keys){
if(map.get(ch) > 1){
System.out.println("Char "+ch+" "+map.get(ch));
}
}
}
public static void main(String a[]){
Details obj = new Details();
System.out.println("String: BeginnersBook.com");
System.out.println("-------------------------");
obj.countDupChars("BeginnersBook.com");
System.out.println("\nString: ChaitanyaSingh");
System.out.println("-------------------------");
obj.countDupChars("ChaitanyaSingh");
System.out.println("\nString: #@$@!#$%!!%@");
System.out.println("-------------------------");
obj.countDupChars("#@$@!#$%!!%@");
}
}
Output:
String: BeginnersBook.com
-------------------------
Char e 2
Char B 2
Char n 2
Char o 3
String: ChaitanyaSingh
-------------------------
Char a 3
Char n 2
Char h 2
Char i 2
String: #@$@!#$%!!%@
-------------------------
Char # 2
Char ! 3
Char @ 3
Char $ 2
Char % 2
