we can reduce space complexity further  more by just maintaining one
array...

 a[256]={0,0,0,0,........................................0,0,0,0,0};
 As character can be non numeric... all possibility in 256 ..
 s[] = input string.
for( i=0;i<strlen(s);i++)
{ a[ s[i] ]++;
}
for( i=0;i<strlen(s);i++)
{ if(a[ s[i] ] > 1)
    return  s[i] ;
}
