count letters in string java code example

Example 1: count the number of words in a string java

public static void main(String[] args)
    { 
        //return the number of words in a string 
        
       String example = "This is a good exercise"; 
       
       int length = example.split(" ").length;
       
       System.out.println("The string is " + length + " words long.");
        
        
    }

Example 2: java count frequency of characters in a string

public class Frequency   
{  
     public static void main(String[] args) {  
        String str = "picture perfect";  
        int[] freq = new int[str.length()];  
        int i, j;  
          
        //Converts given string into character array  
        char string[] = str.toCharArray();  
          
        for(i = 0; i <str.length(); i++) {  
            freq[i] = 1;  
            for(j = i+1; j <str.length(); j++) {  
                if(string[i] == string[j]) {  
                    freq[i]++;             
                    //Set string[j] to 0 to avoid printing visited character  
                    string[j] = '0';  
                }  
            }  
        }  
        //Displays the each character and their corresponding frequency  
        System.out.println("Characters and their corresponding frequencies");  
        for(i = 0; i <freq.length; i++) {  
            if(string[i] != ' ' && string[i] != '0')  
                System.out.println(string[i] + "-" + freq[i]);  
        }  
    }  
}

Example 3: 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;
			}
		}
	}
