Using Python write a function that returns number of occurre
Using Python write a function that returns number of occurrences of a particular character in a string.
Do not use any built-in functions or methods such as count of str class. def countCharacter(s, char):
The function countCharacter receives a string, s and a character, char and returns the number of occurrences of this particular character.
Write a main function that:
• Reads a string and the character to be counted from the user
• Calls the function countCharacter
• Prints the count of characters
Solution
def countCharacter(s,char):
count=0
for i in range(0,len(s)-1):
if(s[i]==char):
count=count+1;
return count
def main():
in=input(\'enter string:\');
ch=input(\'\ enter char :\');
print \'no of occurrence of\',ch,\'is :\',countCharacter(in,ch)
