Question

Write a program whose input is a character and a string, and whose output indicates the number of times the character appears in the string.

Ex: If the input is:

n Monday
the output is:

1
Ex: If the input is:

z Today is Monday
the output is:

0
Ex: If the input is:

n It's a sunny day
the output is:

2
Case matters.

Ex: If the input is:

n Nobody
the output is:

0
n is different than N.





This is what i have so far.
#include
#include
using namespace std;

int main() {

char userInput;
string userStr;
int numCount;

cin >> userInput;
cin >> userStr;

while (numCount == 0) {
cout << numCount << endl;
numCount = userStr.find(userInput);

}
return 0;
}

Answer 1

Here is a Python program:

tmp = input().split(' ')
c = tmp[0]; s = tmp[1]
ans=0
for i in range(len(s)):
if s[i] == c: ans+=1

# the ans variable stores the number of occurrences
print(ans)
