Alphabets counts

harish reddy

//Write a program that reads a string from the console and prints in alphabetical order all letters from the input string and how many times each one of them occurs in the string.

Pls help i amnot getting output

string text = "dadda";

char[] newarray = text.ToArray();

Array.Sort(newarray); int count = 1;

foreach (var item in newarray)

{

Console.WriteLine(item);

}

for (int i = 0; i < text.Length; i++)

{

for (int j = i + 1; j >= i; j++)

{

if (text[i] == text[j])

{

count++;

}

} Console.WriteLine("{0} appears {1} times", text[i], count);

}

My expected output is :

d appears 3 times

a appears 2 times.

To sort the result in alphabetical order, you must use OrderBy
1. string text = "dadda";
2. char[] newarray = text.ToCharArray().Distinct().OrderBy(c=>c).ToArray();
4. foreach (var item in newarray)
5. {
6. int count = text.ToCharArray().Count(c => c == item);
7. Console.WriteLine("{0} appears {1} times", item, count);
8. }

If you want to ignore case, then below is the sample code for that

string text = "Test";
char[] newarray = text.ToLower().ToCharArray().Distinct().OrderBy(c=>c).ToArray();
foreach (var item in newarray)
{
int count = text.ToCharArray().Count(c => Char.ToLower(c) == Char.ToLower(item));
Console.WriteLine("{0} appears {1} times", item, count);
}
