好的，受Yonatan解决方案的启发，这里有一个纯递归的库方法-唯一使用的库方法是length()和charAt()，它们都不做任何循环:

public static int countOccurrences(String haystack, char needle)
{
    return countOccurrences(haystack, needle, 0);
}

private static int countOccurrences(String haystack, char needle, int index)
{
    if (index >= haystack.length())
    {
        return 0;
    }

    int contribution = haystack.charAt(index) == needle ? 1 : 0;
    return contribution + countOccurrences(haystack, needle, index+1);
}

递归是否算作循环取决于您使用的确切定义，但这可能是您能得到的最接近的定义。

我不知道现在大多数jvm是否都做尾递归…当然，如果不是这样，对于适当长的字符串就会出现同名堆栈溢出。

public static void getCharacter(String str){

        int count[]= new int[256];

        for(int i=0;i<str.length(); i++){


            count[str.charAt(i)]++;

        }
        System.out.println("The ascii values are:"+ Arrays.toString(count));

        //Now display wht character is repeated how many times

        for (int i = 0; i < count.length; i++) {
            if (count[i] > 0)
               System.out.println("Number of " + (char) i + ": " + count[i]);
        }


    }
}

这个怎么样。它没有在底层使用regexp，因此应该比其他一些解决方案更快，并且不会使用循环。

int count = line.length() - line.replace(".", "").length();

public static int countOccurrences(String container, String content){
    int lastIndex, currIndex = 0, occurrences = 0;
    while(true) {
        lastIndex = container.indexOf(content, currIndex);
        if(lastIndex == -1) {
            break;
        }
        currIndex = lastIndex + content.length();
        occurrences++;
    }
    return occurrences;
}

如果你想数不。字符串'SELENIUM'中的相同字符，或者你想打印字符串'SELENIUM'中的唯一字符。

public class Count_Characters_In_String{

     public static void main(String []args){

        String s = "SELENIUM";
        System.out.println(s);
        int counter;

       String g = "";

        for( int i=0; i<s.length(); i++ ) { 

        if(g.indexOf(s.charAt(i)) == - 1){
           g=g+s.charAt(i); 
          }

       }
       System.out.println(g + " ");



        for( int i=0; i<g.length(); i++ ) {          
          System.out.print(",");

          System.out.print(s.charAt(i)+ " : ");
          counter=0; 
          for( int j=0; j<s.length(); j++ ) { 

        if( g.charAt(i) == s.charAt(j) ) {
           counter=counter+1;

           }      

          }
          System.out.print(counter); 
       }
     }
}
