虽然方法可以隐藏它，但没有循环(或递归)就无法计数。但出于性能考虑，您希望使用char[]。

public static int count( final String s, final char c ) {
  final char[] chars = s.toCharArray();
  int count = 0;
  for(int i=0; i<chars.length; i++) {
    if (chars[i] == c) {
      count++;
    }
  }
  return count;
}

使用replaceAll(即RE)听起来不是最好的方法。

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

试试下面的代码:

package com.java.test;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class TestCuntstring {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String name = "Bissssmmayaa";
        char[] ar = new char[name.length()];
        for (int i = 0; i < name.length(); i++) {
            ar[i] = name.charAt(i);
        }
        Map<Character, String> map=new HashMap<Character, String>();
        for (int i = 0; i < ar.length; i++) {
            int count=0;
            for (int j = 0; j < ar.length; j++) {
                if(ar[i]==ar[j]){
                    count++;
                }
            }
            map.put(ar[i], count+" no of times");
        }
        System.out.println(map);
    }

}

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;
}

一个简短的例子是

String text = "a.b.c.d";
int count = text.split("\\.",-1).length-1;

 public static int countSubstring(String subStr, String str) {

    int count = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
        if (str.substring(i).startsWith(subStr)) {
            count++;
        }
    }
    return count;
}
