}Enter a string: This website is awesome.
Enter a character to find the frequency: e
Frequency of e = 4
This program asks user to enter a string and a character and checks how many times the character is repeated in the string.
In this program, the string entered by the user is stored in variable str.
Then, the user is asked to enter the character whose frequency is to be found. This is stored in variable ch.
Now, using the for loop, each character in the string is checked for the entered character.
If, the character is found, the frequency is increased. If not, the loop continues.
Finally, the frequency is printed.
First read the algorithm, then study the program code line by line. After that, compare the code with the output and finally go through the explanation. This approach helps learners understand both the logic and the implementation properly.
After understanding this example, try to rewrite the same program without looking at the code. Then change some values or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and keeps learners engaged on the page for longer.
