Leetcode May Challenge - 05/22: Sort Characters By Frequency(Python)

题目描述

Given a string, sort it in decreasing order based on the frequency of characters.

例子

Example 1:

Input:
"tree"

Output:
"eert"

Explanation:
'e' appears twice while 'r' and 't' both appear once.
So 'e' must appear before both 'r' and 't'. Therefore "eetr" is also a valid answer.

Example 2:

Input:
"cccaaa"

Output:
"cccaaa"

Explanation:
Both 'c' and 'a' appear three times, so "aaaccc" is also a valid answer.
Note that "cacaca" is incorrect, as the same characters must be together.

Example 3:

Input:
"Aabb"

Output:
"bbAa"

Explanation:
"bbaA" is also a valid answer, but "Aabb" is incorrect.
Note that 'A' and 'a' are treated as two different characters.

解释

给一个字符串，把字符按照出现的次数排序。所有相同的字母需要连在一起。

思路

用字典统计每个字符的出现次数，然后把字典中的key和value以tuple的形式存到一个list中并以value排序。最后把list中的元素按照出现次数拼成一个字符串即可。

代码

class Solution(object):
    def frequencySort(self, s):
        """
        :type s: str
        :rtype: str
        """
        import collections
        c = collections.Counter(s)
        tup = []
        for key in c:
            tup.append((key, c[key]))
        tup.sort(key = lambda x:x[1], reverse = True)
        res = ""
        for t in tup:
            res += t[0] * t[1]
        return res
