How can I count the letters of a word?

Question

I'd like to count the letters of a word. but It don't works. Please help me

Answer 1

If I understand your problem. you mean length of word, you can use it like
string s;
s="Hello";
cout << s.length() << endl;
cout << s.size();
output:
5
5

if not please explain your problem with an example.

Answer 2

Here it is coded with cin asking to input a word... hope this helps...

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
string s;
cout << "Please enter a word:" << endl;
cin >> s;
cout << "The word entered was: " << s << endl;
cout << s.length() << endl;
cout << s.size();
}

You can declare a string like I saw in another example:

string s;
s="Hello";

So let's state the obvious and string s' length is 5. So You can declare a string like I saw in another example:

string s;
s="Hello";

But generally a non dynamic number needs a length or count since we already know what the length is. So when someone inputs something, like their username which needs to be a minimum of 6 chars(just an example) we can do a similar code.

string s;
cout << "Enter Username" << endl;
cin s;
//just outputting the username and length, you can obviously do lots more!

cout << "Your username:" cout << s << "is over:" cout << s.length() << " characters and is valid!"

I tried to break it down section by section. might have been a little overkill but hopefully it works well for you. I didn't add the # include <iostream>.... etc at the top I'm sure you got that part.

I apologize if I'm missing a char here or there I'll edit it I just went from memory/I saw one typo already.

Answer 4

Aditya was correct, although not thorough...

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
string s;
s="Hello";
cout << s.length() << endl;
cout << s.size();
}

You can also change that to accept user input with a cin as well. There is also the ability to read from a file.

Matthew can I do it like my way?

Answer 6

that doesn't work... the word is a string first off...

Answer 7

#include <iostream>
#include <set>

using namespace std;
int wort;
int lcd;
int main(){
cin>>wort;
lcd = count (wort.begin()wort.end());
cout<<lcd;
return 0;
}
This is my Sketch
