Algorithms/Data Structures - [Problem Solving]
An Institutional Broker wants to Review their Book of Customers to see which are Most Acctive. Given a List of Trades By "Customer Name, Determine which Customers Account for At Least 5% of the Total Number of Trades. Order the List Alphabetically Ascending By Name."
Example
n = 23
"customers = {"Bigcorp", "Bigcorp", "Acme", "Bigcorp", "Zork", "Zork", "Abe", "Bigcorp", "Acme", "Bigcorp", "Bigcorp" , "Zork", "Bigcorp", "Zork", "Zork", "Bigcorp", "Acme", "Bigcorp", "Acme", "Bigcorp", "Acme",""Littlecorp" , "Nadircorp "}."
"Bigcorp had 10 Trades out of 23,which is 43.48% of the Total Trades."
"Both Acme and Zork had 5 trades,which is 21.74% of the Total Trades."
"The Littlecorp, Nadircorp and Abe had 1 Trade Each, which is 4.35%..."
"So the Answer is [""Acme"", "" Bigcorp ,""Zork""] (In Alphabetical Order) Because only These Three Companies Placed atleast 5% of the Trades.
Function Description
Complete the Function mostActive in the Editor Below.
mostActive has the following parameter:
String customers[n] : An Array Customer Names
(Actual Question Says String Array, But Signature is List of Strings)
Returns String[] : An Alphabetically Ascending Array
Constraints
• 1 < n < 10^5
• 1 < Length of customers[] < 20
• The First Character of customers[i] is a Capital English letter.
• All Characters of customers[i] except for the First One are Lowercase.
• Guaranteed that At least One Customer makes atleast 5% of Trades.
Input Format
"The First Line contains an integer, n, The Number of Elements in customers."
"Each Line iof the n Subsequent Lines (where 0 s i< n) contains a string, customers[i]."
Sample Case 0 Input For Custom Testing
20
Omega Alpha Omega Alpha Omega Alpha Omega Alpha Omega Alpha Omega Alpha Omega Alpha Omega Alpha Omega Alpha Omega Beta
Function mostActive
customers[] size n = 20
customers[] = [As Provided Above]
Sample Output
Alpha
Beta
Omega
Explanation
"Alpha made 10 Trades out of 20 (50% of the Total), Omega made 9 Trades (45% of the Total). and Beta made 1 Trade (5% of the Total).All of them have met the 5% Threshold, so all the Strings are Returned in an Alphabetically Ordered Array."

is Good Practice for the Brain for Problem Solving - Involves Simple Arithmetic and Mathematical Application. Ideally, A Programmer would want to Optimize the Solution in Space and Time (Which I Did Not :-)
