Frequency Counter

Function Name: calculateFrequency

Description

Write a function named calculateFrequency that takes a string as its parameter. The function should return a dictionary or an object that maps each character in the string to the number of times it appears in the string. The frequency count should be case-sensitive, meaning that 'a' and 'A' should be counted as two different characters. Non-alphabetic characters should be included in the count as well. The output should be sorted by the character in ascending order.

Requirements

• The function must be able to handle an input string of any length.
• Characters should be counted in a case-sensitive manner.
• The returned frequency dictionary or object must have its keys sorted in ascending order.
• The function must handle special characters, digits, and spaces, not just alphabetic ones.

Examples

Given the string 'hello world!', calculateFrequency('hello world!') should return { ' ': 1, '!': 1, 'd': 1, 'e': 1, 'h': 1, 'l': 3, 'o': 2, 'r': 1, 'w': 1 }.If an empty string is passed, calculateFrequency('') should return an empty dictionary or object.
