how to find frequency of a character in a string 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;
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]++;
string[j] = '0';
}
}
}
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: 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);
}
}
