Thread: Whats wrong here??

It keeps saying that the method must return a result of type int but I already made return the result.


import java.util.Scanner;
public class chap9 {

public static void main (String[] args) {


String message = "statement";

char letter = 'a';

int num = count(message,letter);

}

public static int count(String str, char a){



Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);


System.out.println("Enter the string");


str = input.nextLine();
int length = str.length();

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

a= 'a';


int occurence =0;

char b = str.charAt(i);

if( b==a){

occurence++;
}




return occurence;

}
}

}
