frequency of char in string java code example

Example 1: 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 2: find the frequency of characters in a string in java

+++METHOD WITH NONDUP+++
public static String FrequencyOfChars(String str) {

String nonDup = "";

for(int i=0; i < str.length(); i++)

if(!nonDup.contains(""+str.charAt(i)))

nonDup+= ""+str.charAt(i);

 String expectedResult = "";

for( int j=0;j < nonDup.length(); j++) {

int count = 0;

for(int i=0; i < str.length(); i++) {

if(str.charAt(i) == nonDup.charAt(j))

count++;
}

expectedResult +=nonDup.charAt(j)+"" + count;
}

return expectedResult;
}



+++METHOD WITH REPLACE METHOD+++
  
public  static  String  FrequencyOfChars(String str) {

String expectedResult = "";

for( int j=0; j < str.length(); j++) {

int count = 0;

for(int i=0; i < str.length(); i++) {

if(str.charAt(i) == str.charAt(j)) {

count++;
}
}

expectedResult +=str.charAt(j)+"" + count;

str = str.replace(""+str.charAt(j) ,  "" ); 
}

return expectedResult;

}

+++WITH LINKED HASH SET+++
  public  static  String  FrequencyOfChars(String str) {

String b=new LinkedHashSet<>(Arrays.asList(str.split(""))).toString();

  b = b.replace(", ","").replace("[","").replace("]","");

String result="";

for(int j=0; j<b.length();j++) {

int count=0;

for(int i=0; i<str.length(); i++){

if(str.substring(i, i+1).equals(""+str.charAt(j)))

count++;

}

result+=b.substring(j, j+1)+count;

}

return result;

}

++++LAST METHOD USING COLLECTIONS+++
  public static String frequency(String str) {

String nonDup="", result="";

for(int i=0; i < str.length(); i++)

if(! nonDup.contains(""+str.charAt(i)))

nonDup += ""+str.charAt(i);

 

for(int i=0; i < nonDup.length(); i++) {

int num = Collections.frequency( Arrays.asList(str.split("") ) ,    ""+nonDup.charAt( i ) );

result += ""+nonDup.charAt(i) + num;

}

 

return result;

}

Example 3: get frequency of letters java

HashMap<Character, Integer> map = new HashMap<Character, Integer>();
String s = "aasjjikkk";
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
    char c = s.charAt(i);
    Integer val = map.get(c);
    if (val != null) {
        map.put(c, new Integer(val + 1));
    }
    else {
       map.put(c, 1);
   }
}

Example 4: frequency of letters in english java

Map<Character, Long> frequency =
            str.chars()
               .mapToObj(c -> (char)c)
               .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Function.identity(), Collectors.counting()));
