How can I count the number of times a particular string occurs in another string. For example, this is what I am trying to do in Javascript:
var temp = "This is a string."; alert(temp.count("is")); //should output '2' 
362
count() One of the built-in ways in which you can use Python to count the number of occurrences in a string is using the built-in string . count() method. The method takes one argument, either a character or a substring, and returns the number of times that character exists in the string associated with the method.
In order to find occurence of each character in a string we can use Map utility of Java.In Map a key could not be duplicate so make each character of string as key of Map and provide initial value corresponding to each key as 1 if this character does not inserted in map before.
Iterate the entire string for that particular character and then increase the counter when we encounter the particular character. Using count() is the most conventional method in Python to get the occurrence of any element in any container. This is easy to code and remember and hence quite popular.
The g in the regular expression (short for global) says to search the whole string rather than just find the first occurrence. This matches is twice:
var temp = "This is a string."; var count = (temp.match(/is/g) || []).length; console.log(count);And, if there are no matches, it returns 0:
var temp = "Hello World!"; var count = (temp.match(/is/g) || []).length; console.log(count);If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
