Counting the number of specific letter in the text

[keen anvil]

Hello.
With an array it's easy to count the number (using an index), but how do I count the number of any letter in a string?
I tried to generate the algorithm but it prints 28 which is wrong

look at your loop. what's it doing?

i isn't being used, so there's nothing different between each iteration.

try looking at your code for checking an array

a string is a sequence of characters, you can use it similarly to an array to get each element, just with a method instead of indexing syntax

thank for the reply. I can create an array and use the split() method on that string and then I can find that letter using the index in the array

you could, but you don't need to

you can access individual characters in the string directly

it's ||char charAt(int index)||
