Hello everyone, welcome to Simplified Java.

In today’s video, we are going to solve a very popular Java interview coding question — Count the occurrence of each character in a string using Java 8 Stream API.

This question is frequently asked in Java developer interviews, especially for developers with 2 to 6 years of experience.

Let’s take an example string: "session"

Our goal is to count how many times each character appears.

Expected output:
s = 3
e = 1
i = 1
o = 1
n = 1

Now let’s explore Solution 1 using groupingBy and counting, which is the most recommended and interview-friendly approach.

Here, we first convert the string into a stream using chars(), then convert it to Character using mapToObj(), and finally use Collectors.groupingBy with Collectors.counting().

This gives us the frequency of each character efficiently.

Solution 2 uses LinkedHashMap to maintain insertion order, which is useful when order matters.

Solution 3 uses HashMap with forEach and getOrDefault method.

Solution 4 uses Collections.frequency with distinct characters.

Solution 5 uses merge() method, which is a modern and clean Java 8 approach.

Among all these, groupingBy and merge methods are highly recommended for interviews.

I hope this video helps you understand both Stream API and interview problem solving.
