Please comply with the homework guidelines.

By the way, I think that your statement is ambiguous: are you trying to count how many times 'a' appears, or are you trying to find a string of 'a's of some given length?

Check this program

#include<iostream.h>
void main()
{
int count=0;
char name[15];
cout<<"Enter name:";
cin>>name;
for(int i=0;name[i]!="\0";i++)
{
if((name[i]==65)||(name[i]==91))
{
cout++;
}
}
cout<<"Number of times a appear="<<count";
}

Check this program

A quick check reveals that it is quite bad:

• The code lacks proper indentation.
• <iostream.h> should be replaced by <iostream>
• void main should be replaced by int main
• The names cout and cin are not qualified, yet there is no relevant using declarations or directive.
• The reading of input is susceptible to buffer overflow.
• name[i]!="\0" attempts to compare a char with a const char[2].
• 65 and 91 are magic numbers.
• cout++; is a true WTF, though excusable since cout and count are very close in edit distance.
