Golang : How to count the number of repeated characters in a string?
Problem :
You want to develop a new algorithm that somehow will reduce or compress the size of a string significantly. In order to do that you need to determine how many characters are repeated in a string. How to count the number of repeated characters?
Solution :
Use the strings.Count()
function to find out the number of repeated characters.
For example :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strings"
)
func main() {
str := "a long string with many repeated characters"
numberOfa := strings.Count(str, "a")
fmt.Printf("[%v] string has %d of characters of [a] ", str, numberOfa)
}
Output :
[a long string with many repeated characters] string has 5 of characters of [a]
