Print all duplicate characters from a string

 In this question, we have to print duplicate characters i.e. the characters which come more than once in the given string.

ex:-

  • java (in "java",  'a' is the only duplicate character as it comes more than once, other than that 'j' and 'v' comes only one time in the given string ).
  • python ( in "python" all the characters come only on time so there is no duplicate character in the given string "python").

 import java.util.Scanner;
 public class PrintDuplicateCharacters {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        String duplicate_str = "";
        String str = sc.next();
        for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
            char c = str.charAt(i);
            if ((str.indexOf(c)!= str.lastIndexOf(c)) && !duplicate_str.contains(c + ""))
            {
                duplicate_str += c;
            }

        }
        System.out.println(duplicate_str);
    }
 }

Java ( using HashMap )

import java.util.*;
public class PrintDuplicate{
     public static void main(String []args){
        String s = "codecheistc" ;
        Map<Character,Integer> hm = new HashMap();
        for(int i=0; i<s.length(); i++){
            char ch = s.charAt(i);
            if(hm.containsKey(ch))
                hm.put(ch, hm.get(ch)+1);
            else
                hm.put(ch, 1);
        }
        hm.forEach( (K, V) -> {
            if(V>1)
                System.out.print(K+" ");
        });
     }
 }

Python

input_str = input("Enter String:")
duplicate_str = ""
for i in range(0,len(input_str)-1):
    if input_str[i] in input_str[i+1:] and input_str[i] not in duplicate_str:
        duplicate_str += input_str[i]
print(duplicate_str)

Check whether a number is Seed of another number

 A number P is said to be the seed of another number Q if multiplying P with its digits equates to Q. Ex:-  123 is seed of 738 as    123 * 1 * 2 * 3 = 738  Java 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 public class Seed{ public static void main (String[] args){ int num1 = 123 , num2 = 738 ; num1 = Math. min (num1,num2); num2 = Math. max (num1,num2); System. out . println (checkSeed(num1, num2)); } public static boolean checkSeed ( int num1, int num2){ int seed = num1; while (num1> 0 ){ seed = seed * (num1% 10 ); num1 = num1 / 10 ; } if (seed==num2) return true ; else return false ; } } Python def checkSeed(num1,num2): seed = num1 while num1 > 0 : seed = seed * (num1 % 10 ) num1 = num1 // 10 if seed == n
