You can find out occurrence of     in source string by using string functions  find   function takes 2 arguments   first - string whose occurrences we want to find out and second argument takes starting position While loop is use to find out occurrence till the end of source string   example   string str2        string strData    bla bla blabla bla     size t pos   0 pos2   while   pos   strData find str2  pos    lt  strData length           printf   n d   pos       pos    str2 length

Pseudocode   count   0 For each character c in string s   Check if c equals         If yes  increase count   EDIT  C   example code   int count underscores string s      int count   0     for  int i   0  i  lt  s size    i        if  s i          count       return count      Note that this is code to use together with std  string  if you re using char   replace s size   with strlen s    Also note  I can understand you want something  as small as possible   but I d suggest you to use this solution instead  As you see you can use a function to encapsulate the code for you so you won t have to write out the for loop everytime  but can just use count underscores  my string    in the rest of your code  Using advanced C   algorithms is certainly possible here  but I think it s overkill

I would have done this way      include  lt iostream gt   include  lt string gt  using namespace std  int main      int count   0  string s  Hello world     for  int i   0  i  lt  s size    i                  if  s at i                         count          cout  lt  lt  endl  lt  lt  count  cin ignore    return 0

Using the lambda function to check the character is  quot   quot  then only count will be incremented else not a valid character std  string s    quot a b c quot   size t count   std  count if  s begin    s end        char c   if c        return true      std  cout  lt  lt   quot The count of numbers   quot   lt  lt  count  lt  lt  std  endl

You name it    Lambda version        using namespace boost  lambda   std  string s    a b c   std  cout  lt  lt  std  count if  s begin    s end     1          lt  lt  std  endl    You need several includes    I leave you that as an exercise

Old-fashioned solution with appropriately named variables  This gives the code some spirit    include  lt cstdio gt  int   char     int     0 while                        1     return      int main   char      la blba bla  bla     printf  The string    s   contains  d   characters n                  Edit  about 8 years later  looking at this answer I m ashamed I did this  even though I justified it to myself as a snarky poke at a low-effort question   This is toxic and not OK  I m not removing the post  I m adding this apology to help shifting the atmosphere on StackOverflow  So OP  I apologize and I hope you got your homework right despite my trolling and that answers like mine did not discourage you from participating on the site

There are several methods of std  string for searching  but find is probably what you re looking for   If you mean a C-style string  then the equivalent is strchr   However  in either case  you can also use a for loop and check each character   the loop is essentially what these two wrap up   Once you know how to find the next character given a starting position  you continually advance your search  i e  use a loop   counting as you go
