Re: Most frequent history words

[Sebastian Gniazdowski <sgniazdowski@xxxxxxxxx>]

The code works. Thanks. Had only to change (on) to (On). Interesting
trick with the sorting on "$v=$k". Here is a complete version for
someone to quickly reuse:


typeset -A uniq
for k in ${historywords[@]}; do
    uniq[$k]=$(( ${uniq[$k]:-0} + 1 ))
done

vk=()
for k v in ${(kv)uniq}; do
    vk+="$v=$k"
done
print -rl -- ${${${(On)vk}#<->=}[1,10]}


Interesingly, changing ${historywords[@]} to ${history[@]} and
"${history[@]}" doesn't change script's output, it still outputs most
frequent words, not history entries.

Best regards,
Sebastian Gniazdowski
