第七章7.8示例学习：统计每个字母出现的次数

• 随机生成100个小写字母并将其放入一个字符数组中。
• 对数组中每个字母出现的次数进行计数。

public class CountLetterInarray {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// Declare and create an array
		char[] chars = createArray();
		
		//Display the array
		System.out.println("The lowercase letters are:");
		displayArray(chars);
		
		//count the occurrences of each letter
		int[] counts = countLetters(chars);
		
		//Display counts
		System.out.println();
		System.out.println("The occurrences of each letter are: ");
		displayCounts(counts);
	}
	
	//Create an array of characters
	public static char[] createArray() {
		char[] chars = new char[100];
		
		for(int i = 0;i<chars.length;i++)
			chars[i] = getRandomLowerCaseLetter();
		
		return chars;
	}
	
	//Display the array of characters
	public static void displayArray(char[] chars) {
		//Display the characters in the array 20 on each line
		for(int i=0;i<chars.length;i++) {
			if((i+1)%20==0)
				System.out.println(chars[i]);
			else
				System.out.print(chars[i]+" ");
		}
	}
	
	//Count the occurrences of each letter
	public static int[] countLetters(char[] chars) {
		int[] counts = new int[26];
		
		//For each lowercase letter in the array,count it
		for(int i = 0;i<chars.length;i++)
			counts[chars[i]-'a']++;
		return counts;
	}
	
	//Display counts
	public static void displayCounts(int[] counts) {
		for(int i = 0;i<counts.length;i++)
			if((i+1)%10==0)
				System.out.println(counts[i]+" "+(char)(i+'a'));
			else
				System.out.print(counts[i]+" "+(char)(i+'a')+" ");
	}
	
	public static char getRandomLowerCaseLetter() {
		return getRandomCharacter('a','z');
	}
	
	public static char getRandomCharacter(char ch1,char ch2) {
		return (char)(ch1+Math.random()*(ch2-ch1+1));
	}
