In this post, we will see how to find duplicate Characters in a String.
When you run above program, you will get below output:
Approach:
- Create a HashMap and character of String will be inserted as key and its count as value.
- If Hashamap already contains char,increase its count by 1, else put char in HashMap
- If value of Char is more than 1, that means it is duplicate character in that String

How about using a Set?
private static boolean hasDupeLetter(String str) {
if(null == str || str.length() <= 1) { return false; } Set set = new HashSet ();
for(int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) { set.add(str.charAt(i)); } return str.length() == set.size(); }
