Write a method that finds the number of occurrences of a specified character in a string using the following header: public static int count(String str, char a)

Write a method that finds the number of occurrences of a specified character in a string using the following header:

public static int count(String str, char a)


Program

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Number {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter a string: ");
        String s = sc.nextLine();
        System.out.print("Enter a character: ");
        char ch = sc.next().charAt(0);
         System.out.println("The number of occurrences of "+ ch + " in " + s + " is " + count(s,ch));
}

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

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

            if (str.charAt(i) == ch)
            count++;
        }

        return count;
}
}


Result:

Enter a string: hello
Enter a character: l
The number of occurrences of l in hello is 2
