3527. Find the Most Common Response

Description

You are given a 2D string array responses where each responses[i] is an array of strings representing survey responses from the ith day.

Return the most common response across all days after removing duplicate responses within each responses[i]. If there is a tie, return the lexicographically smallest response.

 

Example 1:

Input: responses = [["good","ok","good","ok"],["ok","bad","good","ok","ok"],["good"],["bad"]]

Output: "good"

Explanation:

  • After removing duplicates within each list, responses = [["good", "ok"], ["ok", "bad", "good"], ["good"], ["bad"]].
  • "good" appears 3 times, "ok" appears 2 times, and "bad" appears 2 times.
  • Return "good" because it has the highest frequency.

Example 2:

Input: responses = [["good","ok","good"],["ok","bad"],["bad","notsure"],["great","good"]]

Output: "bad"

Explanation:

  • After removing duplicates within each list we have responses = [["good", "ok"], ["ok", "bad"], ["bad", "notsure"], ["great", "good"]].
  • "bad", "good", and "ok" each occur 2 times.
  • The output is "bad" because it is the lexicographically smallest amongst the words with the highest frequency.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= responses.length <= 1000
  • 1 <= responses[i].length <= 1000
  • 1 <= responses[i][j].length <= 10
  • responses[i][j] consists of only lowercase English letters
