DIFFICULTY:

EASY - MEDIUM

PREREQUISITES:

HASHING , MAPPING

PROBLEM:

Find the numbers of programmes which is need to terminate by the OS.

EXPLANATION:

The OS will terminate those programmes which are running on more than 2 machines. so,for achieving this ,
you need to count programmes and their occurrences on different machines,so, you can use hashing or MAPPING
technique to do this.

for example:
N1,N2,N3,N4,N5 are the different machines.
and the running programmes are
N1 = 2 3 4 5
N2 = 3 4 5
N3 = 3 2
N4 = 3 4
N5 = 2 3 4

so, program 2 occur for 3 times.
program 3 occur for 5 times.
program 4 occur for 4 times.
program 5 occur for 2 times.
so,programmes 2,3,4 occurs more than two times.
so,Number of programmes are 3.
Hence 3 is the answer.
