You can use each character in text at most once. Return the maximum number of instances that can be formed.

func maxNumberOfBalloons(text string) int {
cache := make([]int, 27)
for _, ch := range text {
i := ch - 'a'
cache[i]++
}
cnt := 0
s := "balloon"
for {
for _, ch := range s {
i := ch - 'a'
if cache[i] == 0 {
return cnt
}
cache[i]--
}
cnt++
}
return cnt
}
