I want C++ to count the letters i want it to count after asking me to provide a word

[little]

hi! i had actually joined a contest which puzzled me a lot. in return, i want to figure it out. i tried a lot of options and coding stuff but none of them worked. so, i decided to come to an expert.

my issue is kind of like this:

i want to create a C++ program that will ask me to enter a word. After then, it will ask me again to enter a letter i want my program to count for me. If the letter i will provide is in the word i previously provided, it will give me an exact number of its occurence. Hence, it will prompt me an error message saying that the letter i'm asking is not in the word i provided.

to anybody who's familiar with my issue, please do help me by replying to this message. it would be highly appreciated.

thanks ú

Hi,
This is a very simple problem and i doubt whether this is a contest problem.

I can give the idea of how to go about it.
1)As u get the word, read character by charecter and store it into a map in which the charcter is the index and the number of occurance is the value.
2)Then after getting the character search in the map and print the count or else print the error..

Thanks
