LAB: Count characters - methods Write a program whose input is a character and a string, and whose output indicates the number of times the character appears in the string.
Ex: If the input is
n Monday
the output is
1
Ex: If the input is
Today is Monday
the output is
0
Ex: If the input is
n it's a sunny day
the output is
0
Your program must define and call the following method that returns the number of times the input character appears in the input string public static int countCharacters (char userChar, String userString)
Note: This is a lab from a previous chapter that now requires the use of a method
LabProgram. java
1 import java. util. Scanner
2
3 public class LabProgram
4
5 /* Define your method here */
6
7 public static void main(String[] args) {
8 Type your code here: * >
9 }
10 }

i hope understand you

Explanation:

using namespace std;

#include <iostream>

#include <string.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <stdio.h>

#define BLANK_CHAR (' ')

int CountCharacters(char userChar, char * userString)

{

int countReturn=0;

int n = strlen(userString);

for (int iLoop=0; iLoop<n; iLoop++)

{

       if (userString[iLoop]==userChar)

       {

       countReturn++;

 }

}

return(countReturn);

}

/

    Removes white spaces from passed string; returns pointer

     to the string that is stripped of the whitespace chars;

  Returns NULL pointer is empty string is passed;  

     Side Effects:

 CALLER MUST FREE THE OUTPUT BUFFER that is returned

 /

char * RemoveSpaces(char * userString)

{

 char * outbuff = NULL;

 if (userString!=NULL)

 {

   int n = strlen(userString);

    outbuff = (char *) malloc(n);

   if (outbuff != NULL)

   {

          memset(outbuff,0,n);

          int iIndex=0;

          //copies non-blank chars to outbuff

         for (int iLoop=0; iLoop<n; iLoop++)

         {

           if (userString[iLoop]!=BLANK_CHAR)

         {

           outbuff[iIndex]=userString[iLoop];

           iIndex++;

   }

   } //for

   }

   }

 return(outbuff);

}

int main()

{

 char inbuff[255];

 cout << " PLEASE INPUT THE STRING OF WHICH YOU WOULD LIKE TO STRIP WHITESPACE CHARS :>";

 gets(inbuff);

 char * outbuff = RemoveSpaces(inbuff);

 if (outbuff !=NULL)

 {

    cout << ">" << outbuff << "<" << endl;

    free(outbuff);

    }

   memset(inbuff,0,255);  

   cout << " PLEASE INPUT THE STRING IN WHICH YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEARCH CHAR :>";

gets(inbuff);

  char chChar;

 cout << "PLEASE INPUT THE CHARCTER YOU SEEK :>";

 cin >> chChar;

 int iCount = CountCharacters(chChar,inbuff);

 cout << " char " << chChar << " appears " << iCount << " time(s) in >" << inbuff << "<" << endl;

}

it does automatically do that fr , and idk what to do bout it , it must be automoderators
