We are not here to do your homework. Show what you have tried and ask a question about.

It is just a basic task, you should enjoy yourself finding your own solution.

I gave you a 5 for taking the initiative for seeking help on a public forum.
Its a good habit of getting into. But more so for a "if all else fails" matter. Hence the valid comments you got from everyone. ;P

Here is a start to what you can do,
Its not complete and syntax might be lacking but I gotto work now.

void CountStringLetters(string message, list<char> charList, list<int> charCountList)
{
  int len = message.Length();
  char searchChar;
  int charCount;

  for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
  {
    searchChar = message[i];
    
    for (int j = 0; j < len; j++)
    {
      if (message[j] == searchChar)
      {
        charCount = charCount + 1;
      }
    }

    charList.Add(message[j]);
    charCountList.Add(charCount);
    
    /* reset charCount */
    charCount = 0;
  }
}

A good program most of the time makes it easy to answer a simple question: "what does this code do?" Trying to figure out the purpose of your piece of code is a puzzle in its own right.

You don't have to take my word for it: remove the words "occurred" and "times" from your code, show the result to your friends, and ask them to tell you what your code does.

Solution 3

Maybe you should ask your professor for help with your homework.

Some voters must say this answer is crazy? Shame on them! At least, this answer should teach them to be honest!
I vote 5 to oppose laziness and consumerism at the expense of more honest fellow students.

If you have not studied dictionaries yet, recall that char values can be used as an array index (it's simply a number between 0 and char.MaxValue). If you create an array of counters, you'd be able to run through the characters in your string with a foreach loop, incrementing your counters along the way. Then you can print your result by going through the counters, and printing non-zero values (character code equals the index of the counter).

P.S. If you just need an answer, try this:

C#

var res = str.Distinct().ToDictionary(c => c, c => str.Where(a => a == c).Count());

It's a correct solution, but don't be surprised if your teacher suspects something ;)

Hello Rupa,
Your professor here. I gave the assignment to do it yourself, not to re-assign it to others. I need to see you in the classroom.

Right! And give him a final warning.
And don't forget to change the assignment.

is this for real? if so thats a real fail for Rupa and he needs a lesson to learn.

Smile. You are in candid camera. :-)

Solution 1

Create a
Dictionary<char,int>

Take a look at Char.IsLetter [^]

Loop over the characters in the string and update the dictionary, use the int as your character count.
