Sort Characters By Frequency

Given a string, sort it in decreasing order based on the frequency of characters.

Example 1:

Input:
"tree"

Output:
"eert"

Explanation:
'e' appears twice while 'r' and 't' both appear once.
So 'e' must appear before both 'r' and 't'. Therefore "eetr" is also a valid answer.

 

Example 2:

Input:
"cccaaa"

Output:
"cccaaa"

Explanation:
Both 'c' and 'a' appear three times, so "aaaccc" is also a valid answer.
Note that "cacaca" is incorrect, as the same characters must be together.

public class Solution {
    public String frequencySort(String s) {
        HashMap<Character, Integer> charFreqMap = new HashMap<>();
        for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
            char c = s.charAt(i);
            charFreqMap.put(c, charFreqMap.getOrDefault(c, 0) + 1);
        }
        ArrayList<Map.Entry<Character, Integer>> list = new ArrayList<>(charFreqMap.entrySet());
        
        list.sort((entry1, entry2) -> entry2.getValue().compareTo(entry1.getValue()));
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        for (Map.Entry<Character, Integer> e : list) {
            for (int i = 0; i < e.getValue(); i++) {
                sb.append(e.getKey());
            }
        }
        return sb.toString();
    }
