get the number of occurrences of a char in a string java code example

Example 1: count occurrences of character in string java 8

String someString = "elephant";
long count = someString.chars().filter(ch -> ch == 'e').count();
assertEquals(2, count);
 
long count2 = someString.codePoints().filter(ch -> ch == 'e').count();
assertEquals(2, count2);

Example 2: 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;
			}
		}
	}

Example 3: number of occurrences of character in string

public class CountStringOccurence {
public static void main(String[] args) {

int count= countOccurences("aaassssddadad",'s');
System.out.println(count);

}

private static int countOccurences(String word, char character){
  
  int count = 0;
  for(int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++){
    
    if(word.chartAt(i) == character){
      
      count++; } 
                 }
      return count;
}
