Frequency Queries

    I was timing out on a few of the test cases, even using two hashmaps. I tried the optimization of boilerplate code proposed here, and was still timing out on 10 which, to be fair, has a million operations. So to really turbocharge it, you can pass a BufferedReader to your freqQuery function, and rather than pass in an int array[q][2], undertake your operations as you read them line by line, so you only do a single pass.

    My code - if there's another optimization I missed, please feel free to point it out to me.
