A function in C that will count the number of a certain character from a string of characters from the input.?

Question

The user must be able to enter a string of any amount of characters and the output must count only one specific character. Thank you.

Answer 1

there is a string function that will do that, I just cant remember what its called. look in the string.h file, or documentation you have for the string functions.

another way is as the other person said. its a pretty easy routine to write, just try it.

Answer 2

An if statement iterating through the string until it finds the null.... A simple counter variable with an if statement that adds one to the counter every time target is found...

Answer 3

In pseudo code, via fact i attempt to steer away from writing somebody's homework for them: define index a million define intcount 0 define charcount 0 define maxlength 0 define array[] = "12players2teams" maxlength = stringLength(array) loop till index == maxlength    if isCharAt(array[index])       increment charcount    else if isIntAt(array[index])       increment intcount end loop output "Integer count quantity = " + intcount + " character count quantity = " + charcount
