+ * 451. Sort Characters By Frequency
+ * Difficulty: Medium
+ * https://leetcode.com/problems/sort-characters-by-frequency/
+ *
+ * ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ * Given a string s, sort it in decreasing order based on the frequency
+ * of the characters. The frequency of a character is the number of times
+ * it appears in the string.
+ *
+ * Return the sorted string. If there are multiple answers, return any
+ * of them.
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ * Example 1:
+ *
+ * Input: s = "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: s = "cccaaa"
+ * Output: "aaaccc"
+ * Explanation: Both 'c' and 'a' appear three times, so both "cccaaa"
+ * and "aaaccc" are valid answers.
+ * Note that "cacaca" is incorrect, as the same characters must be
+ * together.
+ *
+ * Example 3:
+ *
+ * Input: s = "Aabb"
+ * Output: "bbAa"
+ * Explanation: "bbaA" is also a valid answer, but "Aabb" is incorrect.
+ * Note that 'A' and 'a' are treated as two different characters.
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ * Constraints:
+ *
+ * 	• 1 <= s.length <= 5 * 10^5
+ *
+ * 	• s consists of uppercase and lowercase English letters and digits.
