Develop an algorithm and write a C++ program that finds the number of occurrences of a specified character in the string; make sure you take CString as input and return number of occurrences using call by reference. For example, Write a test program that reads a string and a character and displays the number of occurrences of the character in the string. Here is a sample run of the program:.

The algorithm is as follows:

1. Input sentence

2. Input character

3. Length = len(sentence)

4. count = 0

5. For i = 0 to Length-1

 5.1 If sentence[i] == character

    5.1.1 count++

6. Print count

7. Stop

The program in C++ is as follows:

#include <iostream>

#include <string.h>

using namespace std;

int main(){

char str[100];   char chr;

cin.getline(str, 100);

cin>>chr;

int count = 0;

for (int i=0;i<strlen(str);i++){

 if (str[i] == chr){

 count++;}}

cout << count;

return 0;}

Explanation:

I will provide explanation for the c++ program. The explanation can also be extended to the algorithm

This declares the string and the character

char str[100];   char chr;

This gets input for the string variable

cin.getline(str, 100);

This gets input for the character variable

cin>>chr;

This initializes count to 0

int count = 0;

This iterates through the characters of the string

for (int i=0;i<strlen(str);i++){

If the current character equals the search character, count is incremented by 1

 if (str[i] == chr){  count++;}}

This prints the count

cout << count;

the correct answer is "part of speech" if the portion used is "verb, noun" there is another question similar to this with the same question but different portion. the other portion is "hand write" and the correct component for that question is "antonym".

hope this . : )
