Counting the number of occurrences of characters in an array
- by Anthony Pittelli
This is what I have but it is not working, this is confusing for me. If you scroll down I commented on someones post the exact problem I am having and what I am trying to do. I was thinking maybe the problem is my code to generate the random characters:
public void add (char fromChar, char toChar){
Random r = new Random(); //creates a random object
int randInt;
for (int i=0; i<charArray.length; i++){
randInt = r.nextInt((toChar-fromChar) +1);
charArray[i] = (char) randInt; //casts these integers as characters
}
}//end add
public int[] countLetters() {
int[] count = new int[26];
char current;
for (int b = 0; b <= 26; b++) {
for (int i = 97; i <= 123; i++) {
char a = (char) i;
for (int ch = 0; ch < charArray.length; ch++) {
current = charArray[ch];
if (current == a) {
count[b]++;
}
}
}
}
return count;
}
