这里是最简单和容易理解的，不使用数组，只需使用Hashmap。此外，它将计算空白，大写字符和小字符的数量，特殊字符等。

import java.util.HashMap;
  //The code by muralidharan  
    public class FindChars {
        
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            
            findchars("rererereerererererererere");
        }
        
        public static void findchars(String s){
            
            HashMap<Character,Integer> k=new HashMap<Character,Integer>();
            for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++){
                if(k.containsKey(s.charAt(i))){
                Integer v =k.get(s.charAt(i));
                k.put(s.charAt(i), v+1);
                }else{
                    k.put(s.charAt(i), 1);
                }
                
            }
            System.out.println(k);
            
        }
    
    }

O / P: {e = r = 12日13}

第二个输入:

findchars("The world is beautiful and $#$%%%%%%@@@@ is worst");

O / P: {@ = 4 = 7, = 2, b = 1, # = 1, d = 2, = 2美元,e = 2, % = 6 f = 1, h = 1, i = 3 l = 2, n = 1, o = 2, r = 2, = 3, T = 1, T = 2, u = 2, w = 2}

完整的示例:

public class CharacterCounter
{

  public static int countOccurrences(String find, String string)
  {
    int count = 0;
    int indexOf = 0;

    while (indexOf > -1)
    {
      indexOf = string.indexOf(find, indexOf + 1);
      if (indexOf > -1)
        count++;
    }

    return count;
  }
}

电话:

int occurrences = CharacterCounter.countOccurrences("l", "Hello World.");
System.out.println(occurrences); // 3

好的，受Yonatan解决方案的启发，这里有一个纯递归的库方法-唯一使用的库方法是length()和charAt()，它们都不做任何循环:

public static int countOccurrences(String haystack, char needle)
{
    return countOccurrences(haystack, needle, 0);
}

private static int countOccurrences(String haystack, char needle, int index)
{
    if (index >= haystack.length())
    {
        return 0;
    }

    int contribution = haystack.charAt(index) == needle ? 1 : 0;
    return contribution + countOccurrences(haystack, needle, index+1);
}

递归是否算作循环取决于您使用的确切定义，但这可能是您能得到的最接近的定义。

我不知道现在大多数jvm是否都做尾递归…当然，如果不是这样，对于适当长的字符串就会出现同名堆栈溢出。

public static int countOccurrences(String container, String content){
    int lastIndex, currIndex = 0, occurrences = 0;
    while(true) {
        lastIndex = container.indexOf(content, currIndex);
        if(lastIndex == -1) {
            break;
        }
        currIndex = lastIndex + content.length();
        occurrences++;
    }
    return occurrences;
}

在java-8中，你也可以使用流来实现这一点。显然，在幕后有一个迭代，但您不必显式地编写它!

public static long countOccurences(String s, char c){
    return s.chars().filter(ch -> ch == c).count();
}

countOccurences("a.b.c.d", '.'); //3
countOccurences("hello world", 'l'); //3

我有一个类似于Mladen的想法，但恰恰相反……

String s = "a.b.c.d";
int charCount = s.replaceAll("[^.]", "").length();
println(charCount);
