counting the number of characters in a string java
public static void main(String[] args) { int wordCount = 0; String word = "hill"; for (char letter = 'a'; letter <= 'z'; letter++) { for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) { if (word.charAt(i) == letter) { wordCount++; } } if (wordCount > 0) { System.out.println(letter + "=" + wordCount); wordCount = 0; } } }
