Java Program to Find the Frequency of All Duplicate Elements in an Array

This is the Java Program to Find Repeated Elements and the Frequency of Repetition.

Problem Description

Given an array of integers, find and print the repeated elements and their frequency of repetition.

Example:
Array: [1,2,3,4,5,5,3]

Output:
Element—–>Frequency

3—–>2
5—–>2

  49.             }
  50.         }
  51.         Arrays.sort(array);
  52.         displayOutput(array);
  53.     }
  54. }
Program Explanation

1. In function displayOutput(), a variable frequency is created.
2. The loop for(i=0; i<array.length; i++) is used to iterate through the array and it initializes frequency to 1 in each iteration.
3. The nested loop for(j=i+1; i<array.length; j++) traverses the remaining part of the array and count the elements frequency.
4. If the frequency is greater than 1, than the element is displayed along with frequency.

Time Complexity: O(n*log(n)) where n is the number of elements in the array.
