Sorry, that should be &quot;while(*s)if(*s++=='-')n++<wbr />;&quot;

Sorry, that should be "while(*s)if(*s++=='-')n++;"

Soz fella, I was LOL at the cool code TheSailor put in :-)<br />
<br />
I wish we could do that in java sometimes...there should be something like:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; int n = 0 ;<br />
&nbsp; String s = &quot;2-3-4-5&quot; ;<br />
<br />
&nbsp; pointeraware {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; while(*s)if(*s++=='-')n++;<wbr /><br />
&nbsp; }<br />
<br />
Or summat...<br />
<br />
Wasn't laughing at you... :-/

How to count occurences of a char in string?

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
