Answer 1

Use Collections.frequency() method.

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

public class Test{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String[] city = {"texas", "ny", "sydney", "ny", "paris", "texas", "ny"};
        List<String> asList = Arrays.asList(city);
        Map<String, Integer> map= new HashMap<String, Integer>();
        for(String s: city){
            map.put(s,Collections.frequency(asList,s));
        }
        System.out.println(map);

    }
}
