I have just started learning and I was not aware of Counter Class and the method most_common()

Glad I came accross Boki's solution from 9 years back! Classes are a bit tough to understand though so I made something of my own.

from collections import Counter


if __name__ == '__main__':
    
    # sorting alphabetically so they occur in alphabetic order
    company_name = sorted(input())
    
    # count 3 most common characters
    three_most_common_chars = Counter(company_name).most_common(3)
    
    for char, freq in three_most_common_chars:
        print(f"{char} {freq}")
    
    for char, freq in three_most_common_chars:
        print(f"{char} {freq}")
