Top K Frequent Elements
Practice this coding question on Coding Gurukul.
Problem statement
A log contains repeated integer event codes. Select the k distinct codes occurring most frequently. Rank codes by decreasing frequency; when frequencies tie, the smaller numeric value ranks first. Print the selected codes in this ranking order so the answer is deterministic.
Input format
First line: n k. Second line: n integer event codes.
Output format
Print k distinct values ordered by decreasing frequency, breaking ties by increasing numeric value.
Constraints
1 <= n <= 100000; 1 <= k <= number of distinct values; -1000000000 <= each value <= 1000000000.
Sample input
6 2 1 1 1 2 2 3
Sample output
1 2
