        for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
            char c = str.charAt(i);
            if (items.containsKey(c)) {
                int cnt = items.get(c);
                items.put(c, ++cnt);
            } else {
                items.put(c, 1);
            }
        }

        Set<Character> keys = items.keySet();
        for (Character ch : keys) {
            if (items.get(ch) > 1) {
