1152.Analyze user website visit pattern

We are given some website visits: the user with name username[i] visited the website website[i] at time timestamp[i].

A 3-sequence is a list of websites of length 3 sorted in ascending order by the time of their visits. (The websites in a 3-sequence are not necessarily distinct.)

Find the 3-sequence visited by the largest number of users. If there is more than one solution, return the lexicographically smallest such 3-sequence.

Example 1:

Input: username = ["joe","joe","joe","james","james","james","james","mary","mary","mary"], timestamp = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10], website = ["home","about","career","home","cart","maps","home","home","about","career"]
Output: ["home","about","career"]
Explanation: 
The tuples in this example are:
["joe", 1, "home"]
["joe", 2, "about"]
["joe", 3, "career"]
["james", 4, "home"]
["james", 5, "cart"]
["james", 6, "maps"]
["james", 7, "home"]
["mary", 8, "home"]
["mary", 9, "about"]
["mary", 10, "career"]
The 3-sequence ("home", "about", "career") was visited at least once by 2 users.
The 3-sequence ("home", "cart", "maps") was visited at least once by 1 user.
The 3-sequence ("home", "cart", "home") was visited at least once by 1 user.
The 3-sequence ("home", "maps", "home") was visited at least once by 1 user.
The 3-sequence ("cart", "maps", "home") was visited at least once by 1 user.

Note:

  1. 3 <= N = username.length = timestamp.length = website.length <= 50

  2. 1 <= username[i].length <= 10

  3. 0 <= timestamp[i] <= 10^9

  4. 1 <= website[i].length <= 10

  5. Both username[i] and website[i] contain only lowercase characters.

  6. It is guaranteed that there is at least one user who visited at least 3 websites.

  7. No user visits two websites at the same time.

Solution:

version 1: Brute Force

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V510Lbtrm5s Map<String, TreeMap<Integer, String>> map;

form the all 3-sequence from a user, concat is into a string (use 3 for loop)

Map<String, Integer> freqMap

String is the concat string, like "home->about->career" , Integer is the freq.

This is similar to a Amazon interview: https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-question/420704/amazon-most-popular-page-sequence

The diff is the amazon question , the timestamp must be consecutive, like 1,2,3 2,3,4 3,4,5.

But in the question timestamp can be non-consecutive.
