得到答案最简单的方法如下:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    String string = "a.b.c.d";
    String []splitArray = string.split("\\.",-1);
    System.out.println("No of . chars is : " + (splitArray.length-1));
}

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);

如果你想数不。字符串'SELENIUM'中的相同字符，或者你想打印字符串'SELENIUM'中的唯一字符。

public class Count_Characters_In_String{

     public static void main(String []args){

        String s = "SELENIUM";
        System.out.println(s);
        int counter;

       String g = "";

        for( int i=0; i<s.length(); i++ ) { 

        if(g.indexOf(s.charAt(i)) == - 1){
           g=g+s.charAt(i); 
          }

       }
       System.out.println(g + " ");



        for( int i=0; i<g.length(); i++ ) {          
          System.out.print(",");

          System.out.print(s.charAt(i)+ " : ");
          counter=0; 
          for( int j=0; j<s.length(); j++ ) { 

        if( g.charAt(i) == s.charAt(j) ) {
           counter=counter+1;

           }      

          }
          System.out.print(counter); 
       }
     }
}

S: 1, e: 2, l: 1, e: 1, n: 1, i: 1, u: 1

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

import java.util.Scanner;

class apples {

    public static void main(String args[]) {    
        Scanner bucky = new Scanner(System.in);
        String hello = bucky.nextLine();
        int charCount = hello.length() - hello.replaceAll("e", "").length();
        System.out.println(charCount);
    }
}//      COUNTS NUMBER OF "e" CHAR´s within any string input

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
