要替换的最小字符，以使所有字符的频率相同

给定由字母[‘A’-‘Z’]组成的字符串S ，任务是找到使每个字符的频率相等所需的最小操作数。在一个操作中，可以选择字符串的任何字符，并用另一个有效字符替换。
例子：

Input: S = “ABCB” 
Output: 1 
Explanation: 
In the given string character ‘C’ can be replaced by ‘A’, such that occurrence of every character becomes equal to 2. 
Updated String = “ABAB”
Input: S = “BBC” 
Output : 1 
Explanation: 
In the given string character ‘C’ can be replaced by ‘B’, such that occurrence of every character becomes equal to 3. 
Updated string = “BBB” 

方法：想法是找到字符串中每个字符的频率，然后按照字符的降序对它们进行排序。最后，我们可以检查字符串中的每个字符，该字符产生要更改的最小字符数，并打印此要更改的最小字符数。
下面是上述方法的实现：

C++

// C++ implementation to find the
// Minimum characters to be replaced
// to make frequency of all characters same
 
#include 
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the
// Minimum operations to convert
// given string to another with
// equal frequencies of characters
int minOperations(string s)
{
    // Frequency of characters
    int freq[26] = { 0 };
    int n = s.length();
 
    // Loop to find the Frequency
    // of each character
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        freq[s[i] - 'A']++;
    }
 
    // Sort in decreasing order
    // based on frequency
    sort(freq, freq + 26, greater());
 
    // Maximum possible answer
    int answer = n;
 
    // Loop to find the minimum operations
    // required such that frequency of
    // every character is equal
    for (int i = 1; i <= 26; i++) {
        if (n % i == 0) {
            int x = n / i;
            int y = 0;
            for (int j = 0; j < i; j++) {
                y += min(freq[j], x);
            }
            answer = min(answer, n - y);
        }
    }
    return answer;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    string s = "BBC";
    cout << minOperations(s);
 
    return 0;
}

    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        freq[s.charAt(i) - 'A']++;
