Answer 1

Try this:

Char letter = '';
String sentence = "";
System.out.println("Enter a character for which to search");
letter = in.next().charAt(0);
System.out.println("Enter the string to search");
sentence = in.next();

int count= 0;
for (int i = 0; i < sentence.length(); i++) {
    char ch = sentence.charAt(i);
    if (ch==letter) {
        count++;
    }
}
System.out.print(letter+" occurance:"+count);
