Find the k most common elements in an integer array

Question

Given an array A with possible duplicate entries, find the most important entries k.

My approach:

Create a MinHeap from the k most common elements sorted by frequency. the upper element is apparently the least found for the remaining elements. Create a HashMap to track all element counts and whether they are in MinHeap or not.

When reading a new integer:

• check if it is in HashMap: increase the score in HashMap
• also if it checks if it is on the heap: then increment the counter and heapify.
• if not, then compare with the root element count and remove the root to add it if necessary. Then heapify.

At the end, return MinHeap as the desired output.

class Wrapper{
 boolean inHeap;
 int count;
}

O (n + k) O (n log k). / .
