This PR aims to add an algorithm to identify the top
kmost frequent strings given a provided string list of elements.To do this, the algorithm is using a max-heap implementation already existing in this repository.
Time complexity is
O(n), where n is the number of words:O(n)for building the max-heapk*O(logn)for extracting the k most frequent strings
