first sort the given array , you will get 1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,4,4,5
now count frequency of each number and insert it into min heap. each node contain 2 variable. 1) frequency 2) number now do extract min operation. and expand , for eg:- for node 5 frequency = 0 number =5; write 5 to the given array for node 4 frequency = 2 number =4 write 4,4 to array. for node 2 frequency = 3 number =2 write 2,2,2 to the given array...
