Explanation

In this program, we need to count the number of characters present in the string.

The best of both worlds  

To count the number of characters present in the string, we will iterate through the string and count the characters. In above example, total number of characters present in the string are 19.

Algorithm

  1. Define a string.
  2. Define and initialize a variable count to 0.
  3. Iterate through the string till the end and for each character except spaces, increment the count by 1.
  4. To avoid counting the spaces check the condition i.e. string[i] != ' '.

Input:

string = "The best of both worlds"  

Output:

Total number of characters in a string: 19

Python

string = "The best of both worlds";  
count = 0;  
   
#Counts each character except space  
for i in range(0, len(string)):  
    if(string[i] != ' '):  
        count = count + 1;  
   
#Displays the total number of characters present in the given string  
print("Total number of characters in a string: " + str(count));

 

Output:

 Total number of characters in a string: 19

 

C

#include <stdio.h>  
#include <string.h>  
   
int main()  
{  
    char string[] = "The best of both worlds";  
    int count = 0;  
      
    //Counts each character except space  
    for(int i = 0; i < strlen(string); i++) {  
        if(string[i] != ' ')  
            count++;  
    }  
      
    //Displays the total number of characters present in the given string  
    printf("Total number of characters in a string: %d", count);  
   
    return 0;  
}

 

Output:

Total number of characters in a string: 19

 

JAVA

public class CountCharacter  
{  
    public static void main(String[] args) {  
        String string = "The best of both worlds";  
        int count = 0;  
          
        //Counts each character except space  
        for(int i = 0; i < string.length(); i++) {  
            if(string.charAt(i) != ' ')  
                count++;  
        }  
          
        //Displays the total number of characters present in the given string  
        System.out.println("Total number of characters in a string: " + count);  
    }  
}

 

 

Output:

Total number of characters in a string: 19

 

C#

using System;  
                      
public class CountCharacter  
{  
    public static void Main()  
    {  
        String string1 = "The best of both worlds";  
        int count = 0;  
          
        //Counts each character except space  
        for(int i = 0; i < string1.Length; i++) {  
            if(string1[i] != ' ')  
                count++;  
        }  
          
        //Displays the total number of characters present in the given string  
        Console.WriteLine("Total number of characters in a string: " + count);  
    }  
}

 

Output:

Total number of characters in a string: 19

 

PHP

$string = "The best of both worlds";  
$count = 0;

    if($string[$i] != ' ')  
        $count++;  
}  
   
//Displays the total number of characters present in the given string  
print("Total number of characters in a string: " . $count);
