## OverviewProblem solving guide for Technical Interviews
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].
### Examples
| Control | Purpose | Default |
| ------------------ | --------------------- | -------- |
| `--typeset-size` | Base text size | `1em` |
| `--typeset-leading`| Line height | `1.75` |
| `--typeset-flow` | Space between blocks | `1.25em` |

/*
* 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

/*
* 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.
