2053. Kth Distinct String in an Array

Leetcode Solutions

Using a Frequency Map

  1. Initialize an empty hash table frequency_map to store the frequency of each string.
  2. Iterate over the array arr and update the frequency of each string in frequency_map.
  3. Initialize a counter distinct_count to 0 to keep track of the number of distinct strings encountered.
  4. Iterate over the array arr again and for each string: a. Check if the frequency of the string in frequency_map is 1. b. If it is, increment distinct_count. c. If distinct_count equals k, return the current string as it is the kth distinct string.
  5. If the loop completes without returning, it means there are fewer than k distinct strings, so return an empty string.
