Using array, and my prof told me to use string.h

hope anyone could help because I dnt know yet how to use string.h

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

int main()

{

  char szWord[500];

  int len,i;

  int charCount = 0;

  printf("Enter a word: ");

  fgets(szWord,499,stdin); //read up to 499 chars from

                           // standard input.

  len = strlen(szWord);    //use strlen in the string.h lib to get

                           // the zero terminated string length.

  for (i = 0; i < len; ++i)

  {

    if (szWord[i] == 'a') //count the number of a's

    {

      //increment your count here

    }

  }

  //output your answer here

  

  return 0;
