int count = (line.length() - line.replace("str", "").length())/"str".length();

可以在一行代码中使用split()函数

int noOccurence=string.split("#",-1).length-1;

灵感来自Jon Skeet，一个非循环版本，不会吹你的堆栈。如果你想使用fork-join框架，这也是一个有用的起点。

public static int countOccurrences(CharSequeunce haystack, char needle) {
    return countOccurrences(haystack, needle, 0, haystack.length);
}

// Alternatively String.substring/subsequence use to be relatively efficient
//   on most Java library implementations, but isn't any more [2013].
private static int countOccurrences(
    CharSequence haystack, char needle, int start, int end
) {
    if (start == end) {
        return 0;
    } else if (start+1 == end) {
        return haystack.charAt(start) == needle ? 1 : 0;
    } else {
        int mid = (end+start)>>>1; // Watch for integer overflow...
        return
            countOccurrences(haystack, needle, start, mid) +
            countOccurrences(haystack, needle, mid, end);
    }
}

(免责声明:未经测试，未经编译，不合理。)

也许最好的(单线程，不支持代理对)编写方法是:

public static int countOccurrences(String haystack, char needle) {
    int count = 0;
    for (char c : haystack.toCharArray()) {
        if (c == needle) {
           ++count;
        }
    }
    return count;
}

在代码的某个地方，某些东西必须循环。解决这个问题的唯一方法是完全展开循环:

int numDots = 0;
if (s.charAt(0) == '.') {
    numDots++;
}

if (s.charAt(1) == '.') {
    numDots++;
}


if (s.charAt(2) == '.') {
    numDots++;
}

.．.等等，但你是在源代码编辑器中手动执行循环的人——而不是运行它的计算机。请看伪代码:

create a project
position = 0
while (not end of string) {
    write check for character at position "position" (see above)
}
write code to output variable "numDots"
compile program
hand in homework
do not think of the loop that your "if"s may have been optimized and compiled to

为什么不只是分割字符，然后得到结果数组的长度。数组长度总是实例数+ 1。对吧?

下面是一个没有循环的解决方案:

public static int countOccurrences(String haystack, char needle, int i){
    return ((i=haystack.indexOf(needle, i)) == -1)?0:1+countOccurrences(haystack, needle, i+1);}


System.out.println("num of dots is "+countOccurrences("a.b.c.d",'.',0));

嗯，有一个循环，但它是看不见的:-)
