Count Repeated Characters in a Golang String



Count() is a built-in function is Golang that can be used to count the number of non-overlapping instances of a character/string in a string.

Syntax

func Count(s, sep string) int

Where,

  • s – Original String

  • sep – Substring which we want to count.

It returns an Integer value.

Example

The following example demonstrates how you can use the Count() function in a Go program.

Open Compiler
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { // Initializing the Strings x := "Golang Programming Language" y := "Language" // Display the Strings fmt.Println("First String:", x) fmt.Println("Second String:", y) // Using Count Function test1 := strings.Count(x, "g") test2 := strings.Count(y, "b") // Diplay the Count Output fmt.Println("Count of 'g' in the First String:", test1) fmt.Println("Count of 'b' in the Second String:", test2) }

Output

On execution, it will produce the following output −

First String: Golang Programming Language
Second String: Language
Count of 'g' in the First String: 5
Count of 'b' in the Second String: 0

Example

Let us take another example −

Open Compiler
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { // Initializing the Strings p := "Hyderabad" q := "Country" r := "Chennai" s := "Pune" // Display the Strings fmt.Println("First String:", p) fmt.Println("Second String:", q) fmt.Println("Third String:", r) fmt.Println("Fourth String:", s) // Using the Count Function w := strings.Count(p, "d") x := strings.Count(q, "t") y := strings.Count(r, "n") z := strings.Count(s, "e") // Display the Count Output fmt.Println("Count of 'd' in First String:", w) fmt.Println("Count of 't' in Second String:", x) fmt.Println("Count of 'n' in Third String:", y) fmt.Println("Count of 's' in Fourth String:", z) }

Output

It will produce the following output −

First String: Hyderabad
Second String: Country
Third String: Chennai
Fourth String: Pune
Count of 'd' in First String: 2
Count of 't' in Second String: 1
Count of 'n' in Third String: 2
Count of 's' in Fourth String: 1
