You have been given a sorted array/list 'arr' consisting of ‘n’ elements. You are also given an integer ‘k’.


Now, your task is to find the first and last occurrence of ‘k’ in 'arr'.


Note :
1. If ‘k’ is not present in the array, then the first and the last occurrence will be -1. 
2. 'arr' may contain duplicate elements.


Example:
Input: 'arr' = [0,1,1,5] , 'k' = 1

Output: 1 2

Explanation:
If 'arr' = [0, 1, 1, 5] and 'k' = 1, then the first and last occurrence of 1 will be 1(0 - indexed) and 2.

You are given an array of strings ‘ARR’. You have to find out the second most repeated word in the array ‘ARR’. It is guaranteed every string occurs a unique number of times in the array. If there is only one unique string in the array, return an empty string.

Example:-
N = 5
S = [‘aaa’, ‘bbb’, ‘ccc’, ‘aaa’, ‘bbb’, ‘aaa’]

ANSWER:- The answer should be ‘bbb’ as it is repeated 2 times and is the second most repeated word in the array [after the word ‘aaa’ which is repeated 3 times].
