Thread: Finding the count of a letter in a String?

Hi,
I want to find the count of a specific letter by recursion.
Can you help me?

Thanks!

lets say you have a string name NAME and you wanted to count numbers of 'a' in it.
You should try

int count = 0; //to count the numbers of appearance of letter

for(int i = 0; i < NAME.length(); i++) //NAME.length() is a command to count length of characters in a string.
{
if(NAME.charAt(i) == 'a')
count++;
}

print(number of a in NAME is count)

This should help you

Hello vlkn448!
Are you familiar with the concept of recursion? What have you tried so far?

OKAY, sorry!

I found! Here is my function

	public static int finEs(String kelime){
 
		if(kelime.equals("")){
			return 0;
		}else{
			int k = 0;
			if(kelime.substring(0, 1).equals("e")){
				k++;
			}
 
			return k + eBul(kelime.substring(1));
		}
