Answer:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class NumberOfOccurences {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Instantiate a Scanner object for user Input
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
// Ask user to enter text
System.out.println("Please enter the phrase");
// Save the text in a variable
String phrase = input.nextLine();
// Ask user to input character for checking
System.out.println("Please enter the character to check");
// Capture character in a char variable
char character = input.next().charAt(0);
// Initialize count variable to zero
// Count will store occurrences of the character in the phrase
int count = 0;
// Iterate through each character in the string
// For each loop, compare the character of the string
// with the character being checked.
// If there's a match, increment count
for (int i = 0; i < phrase.length(); i++) {
if (phrase.charAt(i) == character) {
count++;
}
}
// Display the count of occurrences
System.out.println(character + " appears this many times " + count);
}
}
