characters. Out of these, g occurs first.

    for (let j = i + 1; j < str.length; j++) {
      if (str[i] === str[j]) {

/* Time complexity of solution: O(n) */
const getRepeatedChars = (str) => {
 	const chars = {};
    for (const char of str) {
        chars[char] = (chars[char] || 0) + 1;
    }
    return Object.entries(chars).filter(char => char[1] > 1).map(char => char[0]);
}

getRepeatedChars("aabbkdndiccoekdczufnrz"); // ["a", "b", "c", "d", "k", "n", "z"]
