I have a pretty good working Java method, which sorts array of strings, then searches for duplicate elements. If element is duplicated output shows ">> hello *20 times" for example. private void printArray() { String arr[] = str.split("\\n+"); Arrays.sort(arr); for (int j = 0; j < arr.length; j++) { int count = 1; for (int i = j + 1; i < arr.length; i++) { if (arr[i].compareTo(arr[j]) == 0) { count++; j++; } } if (count > 1) { System.out.println(">> " + arr[j] + " *" + count + " times"); } else { System.out.println(">> " + arr[j]); } } } But the problem is that I can't write this method in Ruby! How to make this in Ruby?
