πŸ’» CODE SNIPPET OF THE DAY

Count Occurrences of a Character in a String

The countOccurrences function calculates how many times a specific character appears in a given string by splitting the string and measuring the resulting array's length.

const countOccurrences = (str, char) => str.split(char).length - 1;

console.log(countOccurrences("hello world", "l")); // Output: 3
console.log(countOccurrences("banana", "a"));      // Output: 3
console.log(countOccurrences("mississippi", "s")); // Output: 4

How it works:

  1. The split(char) method breaks the string into an array using the specified character as the delimiter.

  2. The resulting array's length is the number of pieces the string was split into.

  3. Subtracting 1 from the length gives the exact number of occurrences of the character.

Use Cases:

  • Text Analysis: Analyze character frequency for linguistic or cryptographic purposes.

  • Content Validation: Enforce rules, such as ensuring a specific number of delimiters in CSV lines.

  • Search and Replace: Find how many times a character appears before replacing or modifying it.
