hey guys. I'm trying to develop a simple program which takes a line of characters entered by the user, and displays the total count of each character entered; as well as what percentage of the total count is attributed to each character. I only want to display the info for characters that were entered though, not every single character.
I'm just wondering, what's the best way to format and/or what tools could I use to start developing this program. thanx

A text editor and a compiler is a good start.

An array that stores a count of the characters that occured, ie
Code:int freq[UCHAR_MAX - ' '] = {0}; /* more than enough for all the printable ascii characters, assumes ascii of course */
/* go through the string you read and add the printable characters to the array (with isprint() from ctype.h), then carry on...
just make sure you don't go out of bounds of the array */
