How to count the number of each character in a string?

Question

There are many ways to count the number of each character in a string in C#. Here are a few examples:
Using a loop: This is the most basic way to count the number of each character in a string. You can use a for loop to iterate through the characters in the string and keep track of the number of times each character appears.
C#
string str = "Hello, world!";
int[] counts = new int[256]; // Create an array to store the counts
for (int i = 0; i andlt; str.Length; i++) {
    counts[str[i]]++; // Increment the count for the current character
}
foreach (var count in counts) {
    Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", (char)count.Key, count.Value); // Print the count for each character
}
Using LINQ: LINQ provides a number of methods that can be used to count the number of each character in a string. One of these methods is the
Count() method. The Count() method takes a predicate as a parameter, which is a function that determines whether or not a character should be counted.
C#
string str = "Hello, world!";
int count = str.Count(c => c != ' '); // Count all the characters that are not spaces
Console.WriteLine("There are {0} characters in the string that are not spaces", count);
Using a dictionary: A dictionary is a data structure that can be used to store key-value pairs. In this case, the keys would be the characters in the string and the values would be the number of times each character appears.
C#
string str = "Hello, world!";
Dictionaryandlt;char, int> counts = new Dictionaryandlt;char, int>(); // Create a dictionary to store the counts
foreach (char c in str) {
    int count;
    if (!counts.TryGetValue(c, out count)) {
        count = 0;
    }
    counts[c] = count + 1; // Increment the count for the current character
}
foreach (var count in counts) {
    Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", count.Key, count.Value); // Print the count for each character
}
These are just a few examples of how to count the number of each character in a string in C#. The best method to use will depend on your specific needs.

The occurrence of each character in a given string can be counted using the following C# program.
and 
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace HelloWorld
{
 class Program
 {
   static void Main(string[] args)
   {
       Console.WriteLine("Hello World");  
    Program.Countcharacter("Hello World");  
   }
   internal static void Countcharacter(string str)  
   {  
       Dictionaryandlt;char, int> charCount = new Dictionaryandlt;char, int>();  
       foreach (var character in str)  
       {  
           if (character != ' ')  
           {  
               if (!charCount.ContainsKey(character))  
               {  
                   charCount.Add(character, 1);  
               }  
               else  
               {  
                   charCount[character]++;  
               }  
           }  
       }  
       foreach (var character in charCount)  
       {  
           Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1}", character.Key, character.Value);  
       }  
   }
 }
}
Output:
Hello World
H - 1
e - 1
l - 3
o - 2
W - 1
r - 1
d - 1
