Solution: Top K Frequent Words

Explore how to implement a solution for finding the top k frequent words in a list using a trie and bucket sort. Understand frequency mapping, efficient storage, and sorting techniques to return words ordered by frequency and lexicographical order. Learn the time and space complexity of this approach.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given a list of strings words and an integer k, return the k most frequently occurring strings.

Note: The result should be sorted in descending order based on frequency. If multiple words have the same frequency, they should be sorted in lexicographical order.

Constraints:

  • 1≤1 \leq words.length ≤100\leq 100

  • 1≤1 \leq words[i].length ≤10\leq 10

  • 1≤1 \leqk ≤\leq number of unique words in the list

  • words[i] consists of lowercase English letters. ...
