Count the occurrences of a letter in a string

Question

I am trying to write a for loop in Java that will count the occurrences of a letter in a string. The user will enter the letter to count and the string in which to search. This

Answer 1

Try this

forget String letter = "" <-- Delete
forget letter = in.next() <-- Delete

    // There's no nextChar() method, so this is a work aroung
    char ch = in.findWithinHorizon(".", 0).charAt(0);

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

        if (sentence.charAt(i) == ch) {
            letter++;
        }
    }

    System.out.println(letter);  // print number of times letter appears

    // You don't want this
    System.out.print(sentence.charAt(letter)); // Makes no sense
