We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in a string and returns the character which makes second most appearances in the string.
Example
Following is the code −
const str = 'Hello world, I have never seen such a beautiful weather in
the world';
const secondFrequent = str => {
const map = {};
for(let i = 0; i < str.length; i++){
map[str[i]] = (map[str[i]] || 0) + 1;
};
const freqArr = Object.keys(map).map(el => [el, map[el]]);
freqArr.sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1]);
return freqArr[1][0];
};
console.log(secondFrequent(str));Output
Following is the output in the console −
