K Most Frequent Words Problem Statement
Given an array or list WORDS
of 'N' non-empty words and an integer 'K', identify the 'K' most frequent words and return them sorted by their frequency, in descending order.
Note:
If two words share the same frequency, return them in lexicographical order.
Additionally, consider optimizing your solution to achieve O(N * logK)
time complexity with O(N)
additional space.
Input:
N K
word1 word2 word3 ... wordN
Output:
wordA wordB ... wordK
Example:
Input:
N = 6, K = 2
WORDS = ['i', 'love', 'leetcode', 'i', 'love', 'coding']
Output:
['i', 'love']
Explanation:
The word 'i' appears twice, as does 'love'. The other words appear only once. Hence, 'i' and 'love' are the most frequent.
Constraints:
1 <= N <= 10^5
1 <= K <=
number of unique words
Time Limit: 1 sec
