Solution: Top K Frequent Words

Explore how to determine the k most frequent words from a list by combining trie data structures and bucket sort. Understand how to count word frequencies, organize words by frequency using tries, and efficiently retrieve the results sorted by frequency and lexicographical order. This lesson guides you through implementing this solution with optimal time and space complexity.

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:

  • 11 \leq words.length 100\leq 100

  • 11 \leq words[i].length 10\leq 10

  • 11 \leqk \leq number of unique words in the list

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