Count Uppercase, Lowercase, special character and numeric values

0 0 4 minutes read

Given a string, write a program to count the occurrence of Lowercase characters, Uppercase characters, Special characters, and Numeric values.

Examples:

Input : #GeeKs01fOr@gEEks07
Output : 
Upper case letters : 5
Lower case letters : 8
Numbers : 4
Special Characters : 2

Input : *GeEkS4GeEkS*
Output :
Upper case letters : 6
Lower case letters : 4
Numbers : 1
Special Characters : 2

Approach :

Scan string str from 0 to length-1.
check one character at a time based on ASCII values
- if(str[i] >= 65 and str[i] <=90), then it is uppercase letter,
- if(str[i] >= 97 and str[i] <=122), then it is lowercase letter,
- if(str[i] >= 48 and str[i] <=57), then it is number,
- else it is a special character
Print all the counters

Implementation:

C++

// C++ program to count the uppercase,
// lowercase, special characters 
// and numeric values
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to count uppercase, lowercase,
// special characters and numbers
void Count(string str)
{
    int upper = 0, lower = 0, number = 0, special = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++)
    {
        if (str[i] >= 'A' && str[i] <= 'Z')
            upper++;
        else if (str[i] >= 'a' && str[i] <= 'z')
            lower++;
        else if (str[i]>= '0' && str[i]<= '9')
            number++;
        else
            special++;
    }
    cout << "Upper case letters: " << upper << endl;
    cout << "Lower case letters : " << lower << endl;
    cout << "Number : " << number << endl;
    cout << "Special characters : " << special << endl;
}
 
// Driver function
int main()
{
    string str = "#GeeKs01fOr@gEEks07";
    Count(str);
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to count the uppercase,
// lowercase, special characters 
// and numeric values
import java.io.*;
 
class Count
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        String str = "#GeeKs01fOr@gEEks07";
        int upper = 0, lower = 0, number = 0, special = 0;
 
        for(int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++)
        {
            char ch = str.charAt(i);
            if (ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'Z')
                upper++;
            else if (ch >= 'a' && ch <= 'z')
                lower++;
            else if (ch >= '0' && ch <= '9')
                number++;
            else
                special++;
        }
 
        System.out.println("Lower case letters : " + lower);
        System.out.println("Upper case letters : " + upper);
        System.out.println("Number : " + number);
        System.out.println("Special characters : " + special);
    }
}

Output

Upper case letters: 5
Lower case letters : 8
Number : 4
Special characters : 2

Time Complexity: O(N), where N is the string length
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
