@bittu , I think RLE , would be of no use ; as
inp:AAABBRRGH out :3A2B2R1G1H so to reach the top 5 counts , there will be of no use . as stated earlier by others , HASH TABLE will be the one of best solution for this . maintain hash table in O(n) and then sort it .for top 5 counts. Please mend me if I am wrong somewhere as I am also in a learning phase.
