Here’s a demo I made that counts the frequency/occurences in a given string. Took me an hour or so to write it but it was fun to do so on a boring sunday. It also counts a few special character such as spaces and brackets etc.

Sourcecode:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Vector;
public class StringCount {
public static void main(String[] args) {
StringCount SC = new StringCount();
SC.usage();
SC.countCharacters(”www.engineeringserver.com is a site for (student) software developers, especially Java developers that want to know more about Java and Java development in general.”);
}
public void countCharacters(String input){
String[] alphabet = {”a”,”b”,”c”,”d”,”e”,”f”,”g”,”h”,”i”, “j”, “k”, “l”, “m”,
“n”,”o”, “p”, “q”, “r”, “s”, “t”,”u”,”v”,”w”,”x”,”y”,”z”, ” “, “[","]“,”‘”,”,”, “/”,”\\”,”:”,”.”,”-”,”(”,”)”};
System.out.println(”Input: ” + input);
System.out.println();
ArrayList occurences = new ArrayList();
int times = 0;
for (int i = 0; i< alphabet.length; i++){
for (int k = 0; k < input.length(); k++){
if(alphabet[i].equals(”" + input.toLowerCase().charAt(k))){
times++;
}
}
occurences.add(alphabet[i] + ” found\t” + times + ” times”);
times = 0;
}
for(int i = 0; i< occurences.size(); i++){
System.out.println(occurences.get(i));
}
}
public void usage(){
System.out.println(”By: HappyFace - www.engineeringserver.com :: v1.0 initial release”);
}
}

Output:

By: HappyFace - www.engineeringserver.com :: v1.0 initial release
Input: www.engineeringserver.com is a site for (student) software developers, especially Java developers that want to know more about Java and Java development in general.

a found 14 times
b found 1 times
c found 2 times
d found 5 times
e found 22 times
f found 2 times
g found 3 times
h found 1 times
.. etc
