0192. Word Frequency

https://leetcode.com/problems/word-frequency

Description

Write a bash script to calculate the frequency of each word in a text file words.txt.

For simplicity sake, you may assume:

  • words.txt contains only lowercase characters and space ' ' characters.

  • Each word must consist of lowercase characters only.

  • Words are separated by one or more whitespace characters.

Example:

Assume that words.txt has the following content:


the day is sunny the the

the sunny is is

Your script should output the following, sorted by descending frequency:


the 4
is 3
sunny 2
day 1

Note:

  • Don't worry about handling ties, it is guaranteed that each word's frequency count is unique.

  • Could you write it in one-line using Unix pipes?
