Find the maximum occurring character in given String ? 


   public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(maxOccurringChar("122333444455555666666"));
    }

    public static Character maxOccurringChar(String s) {

        Map<Character, Integer> charCountMap = new HashMap<>();
        char[] array = s.toCharArray();

        for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
            if(array[i] != ' ') {
                Integer occ = charCountMap.getOrDefault(array[i], 0);
                charCountMap.put(array[i], ++occ);
            }
        }

        Map.Entry<Character, Integer> maxEntry = charCountMap.entrySet().stream()
                                                                   .max(Map.Entry.comparingByValue()).get();
                                                                   
//      Map.Entry<Character, Integer> maxEntry = getEntryWithMaxValue(charCountMap);

        System.out.println(String.format("Character %s occurs %s times.", maxEntry.getKey(), maxEntry.getValue()));

        return integerEntry.getKey();
    }

    private static Map.Entry<Character, Integer> getEntryWithMaxValue(Map<Character, Integer> charCountMap) {
        Set<Map.Entry<Character, Integer>> entrySet = charCountMap.entrySet();
        Map.Entry<Character, Integer> maxEntry = charCountMap.entrySet().iterator().next();

        for (Map.Entry<Character, Integer> entry : entrySet) {
            if (entry.getValue() > maxEntry.getValue()) {
                maxEntry = entry;
            }
        }
        return maxEntry;
    }

Print staircase with both base and height equal to n

Consider a staircase of size n=4, as shown below:       #     ##   ### #### Observe that its base and height are both equal to n, and the image is drawn using # symbols and spaces. The last line is not preceded by any spaces. Write a program that prints a staircase of size n. public static void main(String[] args) { int n = 10; if(n < 1 || n > 100) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("N should be between 0 and 100"); } for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) { System.out.println(Stream.concat(Stream.generate(() -> " ").limit(n-i), Stream.generate(() -> "#").limit(i)) .collect(Collectors.joining())); } } }

Find the longest substring without repeating characters

Sliding Window is a subarray running on a large array, which is a collection of underlying elements. Here we use two pointers, one pointer A always selects the first char of the max substring, from each iteration of the string. The second pointer B runs ahead of pointer A, until a duplicate character is found or the end of the string is reached. public int lengthOfLongestSubstring(String s) { int a_pointer = 0; int b_pointer = 0; int max = 0; Set<Character> hashSet = new HashSet<>(); int i = 0; while(b_pointer < s.length()) { if(!hashSet.contains(s.charAt(b_pointer))) { hashSet.add(s.charAt(b_pointer)); b_pointer++; max = Math.max(hashSet.size(), max); } else { hashSet.remove(s.charAt(a_pointer)); a_pointer++; } } return max; }
