Duplicate Character Counter

Function Name: countDuplicateCharacters

Description

Write a function named 'countDuplicateCharacters' that takes a single string as an input and returns a dictionary (or an object/map depending on the language) containing the counts of duplicate characters in that string. The function should be case-sensitive, meaning 'a' and 'A' should be counted as distinct characters. Characters that do not repeat should not be included in the result.

Requirements

• The function must be named 'countDuplicateCharacters'.
• The function takes exactly one parameter: a string.
• The function returns a dictionary/object/map where the keys are characters that appear more than once in the string, and the values are the counts of those characters' occurrences.
• The counting should be case-sensitive.
• Exclude non-repeating characters from the result.
• Do not use any built-in language features or third-party libraries that directly solve the challenge.

Examples

Given the function call countDuplicateCharacters('programming'), the expected output is {'r': 2, 'g': 2, 'm': 2}.Given the function call countDuplicateCharacters('abstraction'), the expected output is {'a': 2, 't': 2}.Given the function call countDuplicateCharacters('Hello World'), the expected output is {'l': 3, 'o': 2}.
