* 1365. How Many Numbers Are Smaller Than the Current Number
* Difficulty: Easy
* https://leetcode.com/problems/how-many-numbers-are-smaller-than-the-current-number/
*
* ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
*
* Given the array nums, for each nums[i] find out how many numbers in
* the array are smaller than it. That is, for each nums[i] you have to
* count the number of valid j's such that j != i and nums[j] < nums[i].
*
* Return the answer in an array.
*
*
*
* Example 1:
*
* Input: nums = [8,1,2,2,3]
* Output: [4,0,1,1,3]
* Explanation:
* For nums[0]=8 there exist four smaller numbers than it (1, 2, 2 and
* 3).
* For nums[1]=1 does not exist any smaller number than it.
* For nums[2]=2 there exist one smaller number than it (1).
* For nums[3]=2 there exist one smaller number than it (1).
* For nums[4]=3 there exist three smaller numbers than it (1, 2 and 2).
*
* Example 2:
*
* Input: nums = [6,5,4,8]
* Output: [2,1,0,3]
*
* Example 3:
*
* Input: nums = [7,7,7,7]
* Output: [0,0,0,0]
*
*
*
* Constraints:
*
* • 2 <= nums.length <= 500
*
* • 0 <= nums[i] <= 100

// Step 5: Iterate over the sorted list

/*
* 1636. Sort Array by Increasing Frequency
* Difficulty: Easy
* https://leetcode.com/problems/sort-array-by-increasing-frequency/
*
* ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
*
* Given an array of integers nums, sort the array in increasing order
* based on the frequency of the values. If multiple values have the same
* frequency, sort them in decreasing order.
*
* Return the sorted array.
*
*
*
* Example 1:
*
* Input: nums = [1,1,2,2,2,3]
* Output: [3,1,1,2,2,2]
* Explanation: '3' has a frequency of 1, '1' has a frequency of 2, and
* '2' has a frequency of 3.
*
* Example 2:
*
* Input: nums = [2,3,1,3,2]
* Output: [1,3,3,2,2]
* Explanation: '2' and '3' both have a frequency of 2, so they are
* sorted in decreasing order.
*
* Example 3:
*
* Input: nums = [-1,1,-6,4,5,-6,1,4,1]
* Output: [5,-1,4,4,-6,-6,1,1,1]
*
*
*
* Constraints:
*
* • 1 <= nums.length <= 100
*
* • -100 <= nums[i] <= 100

* 387. First Unique Character in a String
* Difficulty: Easy

*
* ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
*
* Given a string s, find the first non-repeating character in it and

* The character 'l' at index 0 is the first character that does not
* occur at any other index.

* Input: s = "loveleetcode"
*
* Output: 2

* Example 3:
*
* Input: s = "aabb"
