Answer 1

There is bug in your code.Correct code below-

   String fileName;    // Holds the name of the file
    String letter;      // Letter to search for in the file

    // Get the name of the file and character from the user
    fileName = "C:\\bin\\GWT.txt";
    letter = "X";


    // Open the file for reading
    File file = new File(fileName);         
    Scanner inputFile = new Scanner(file);  // Declare new scanner object for file reading


    // Set accumulator to zero
    int count = 0;
    while(inputFile.hasNext()) {
      if (inputFile.nextLine().toLowerCase().contains(letter.toLowercase())) { 
           count++;          // add letter occurrence
       }
    }
    System.out.println(count);
