Question

Write a program whose input is a character and a string, and whose output indicates the number of times the character appears in the string. The output should include the input character and use the plural form, n's, if the number of times the characters appears is not exactly 1. g

Answer 1

Answer:

The program in Python is as follows:

string = input("String: ")

chr = input("Character: ")[0]

total_count = string.count(chr)

print(total_count,end=" ")

if total_count > 1:

   print(chr+"'s")

else:

   print(chr)

Explanation:

This gets the string from the user

string = input("String: ")

This gets the character from the user

chr = input("Character: ")[0]

This counts the occurrence of the character in the string

total_count = string.count(chr)

This prints the total count of characters

print(total_count,end=" ")

If the count is greater than 1

if total_count > 1:

Then it prints a plural form

   print(chr+"'s")

If otherwise

else:

Then it prints a singular form

   print(chr)
