Number of occurences

[shubharamaswamy]

Reading standard input and printing the number of occurences of each letter in graphic format as follows:

a: .....
b: ..
.
.
.
z: ...

where no. of dots= no.of occurences

Sounds like an interesting problem. Thanks for sharing, but this forum is for asking questions. Did you want to ask a question, or were you content just to tell us about your assignment and leave it at that?

[shubharamaswamy]

I am sorry that I have forgotten to mention that.. I have tried to solve this problem and not very successful.. So I just wanna know any ways to solve this..

[RedSon]

There are lots of ways to solve this. What work have you done to solve this? Have you read the chapters of your book that have information about this? Have you talked to your instructor about your questions? Have you searched google and thescripts for similar problems that have already been solved?

[shubharamaswamy]

Yes ofcourse.. I am able to solve half of the problem by geting the number of occurences with the use of pointers. But I just wanna know how to getit in graphic format.. N is that necessary that I have to ask my instructor before expressing any doubt in these forums?

[RedSon]

The people on thescripts expect that you exhaust all your normal resources first, which means google, books, instructors should be consulted first. But there is no requirement that you must have asked your instructor first, even if there was there would be no way for us to enforce this rule so it would be ridiculous to make it.

What I don't understand is, if your program can already calculate the number of occurrences then why are you not able to just put a print statement in a loop that prints a dash or dot for each occurrence?

[shubharamaswamy]

I just wanna know the whole program

The experts on this site are more than happy to help you with your problems but they cannot do your assignment/program for you. Attempt the assignment/program yourself first and post questions regarding any difficulties you have or about a particular function of the code that you don't know how to achieve.

Please read the Posting Guidelines and particularly the Coursework Posting Guidlines.

Then when you are ready post a new question in this thread.
