Why is the keyboard calledQWERTY

I believe it is because the arrangement of the first six letters in the top alphabet row of a standard keyboard QWERTY goes way back. The layout was created in 1873 when Christopher Latham Sholes made improvements to his earlier typewriter models in order to design a quicker and more efficient typewriter for E. Remington and Sons.

The standard QWERTY layout keyboard is called 'QWERTY' because on the top line of the keyboard the first 6 letters from chronological left to right order are; Q, W, E, R, T, and Y.

Or...if you're wondering why it's QWERTY and not ABCDEF, it's because when typing with the alphabetical format, many of the keys would clash with each other due to the arrangement of keys on the original typewriter. The QWERTY layout became so popular, it was the standardized layout for typewriters, and even keyboards today.

Letter Frequency Write a function that will take a string and return a count of each letter in the string. For example, "my dog
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Code to copy:

// ConsoleApplication7.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

//

#include "stdafx.h"

#include <iostream>

#include <cstring>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

int * letterFrequency(char s[]);

int main()

{

  int *freq_letters;

  char *s = new char[100];

  freq_letters = new int[26];

  //To read the input string in order to find the frequency of each letter

  cout << "Enter a string: ";

  cin.getline(s, ' ');

  //call the function to find the occurrence of each alphabet

  freq_letters = letterFrequency(s);

  //Display the count

  cout << "Letter Frequency " << endl;

  for (int i = 0; i < 26; i++)

  {

      //Constriant to check if the letter appeared at least once in the string and so printing the frequency of its occurence

      if (freq_letters[i] != 0)

      cout << " " << static_cast<char>(i + 'a') << " " << freq_letters[i] << endl;

  }

  system("pause");

  return 0;

}

//Define the function to find occurrence of each letter in the input string

int * letterFrequency(char s[])

{

  int *occurrence_array;

//to store the output of occurrences for each alphabet

  occurrence_array = new int[26];

// to store the count of occurrence for each letter temporarily

  int letter_count;

  // for loop to check the occurrence for all 26 alphabets

 

  for (int i = 0; i < 26; i++)

  {

      letter_count = 0;

      for (int j = 0; j < strlen(s); j++)

      {

          /*comparing the ascii values of each alphabet with every character from the string by converting it to lower case i.e. case insensitive*/

          if (int('a') + i == int(tolower(s[j])))

              letter_count++;

      }

      occurrence_array[i] = letter_count;//To store the count calculated for each alphabet

  }

  return occurrence_array;

}

The following below code screenshot and output shows that when the string is entered, the output will shows each lettercount irrespective of whether the letter is in capitals or small and does not count non-letter characters (i.e spaces, punctuations etc.)
