switch statement in for loop and if statement not completing
- by user2373912
I'm trying to find out how many of each character are in a string.
I've searched around for a while and can't seem to figure out why my switch statement is stopping after the first case.
function charFreq(string){
var splitUp = string.split("");
console.log(splitUp);
var a;
var b;
var c;
var v;
for (var i = 0; i<splitUp.length; i++){
if (i<1){
switch (splitUp[i]){
case "a":
a = 1;
break;
case "b":
b = 1;
break;
case "c":
c = 1;
break;
case "v":
v = 1;
break;
}
} else {
switch (splitUp[i]){
case "a":
a += 1;
break;
case "b":
b += 1;
break;
case "c":
c += 1;
break;
case "v":
v += 1;
break;
}
}
}
console.log("There are " + a + " A's, " + b + " B's, " + c + " C's, and " + v + " V's.")
}
charFreq("aaabccbbavabac");
What am I doing wrong that would make the console read:
There are 6 A's, NaN B's, NaN C's, and NaN V's.
