Count of alphabets having ASCII value less than and greater than k

Last Updated : 03 May, 2021

Given a string, the task is to count the number of alphabets having ASCII values less than and greater than or equal to a given integer k.

Examples:

Input: str = "GeeksForGeeks", k = 90
Output: 3, 10
G, F, G have ascii values less than 90.
e, e, k, s, o, r, e, e, k, s have ascii values 
greater than or equal to 90

Input: str = "geeksforgeeks", k = 90
Output: 0, 13

Approach: Start traversing the string and check if the current character has an ASCII value less than k. If yes then increment the count.
So, the Remaining characters will have ASCII values greater than or equal to k. So, print len_of_String – count for characters with ASCII values greater than or equal to k.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to count the number of
// characters whose ascii value is less than k
int CountCharacters(string str, int k)
{
    // Initialising the count to 0
    int cnt = 0;
 
    int len = str.length();
    for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
        // Incrementing the count
        // if the value is less
        if (str[i] < k)
            cnt++;
    }
 
    // return the count
    return cnt;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    string str = "GeeksForGeeks";
    int k = 90;
 
    int count = CountCharacters(str, k);
    cout << "Characters with ASCII values"
            " less than K are "
         << count;
 
    cout << "\nCharacters with ASCII values"
            " greater than or equal to K are "
         << str.length() - count;
 
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java implementation of the above approach
import java.util.*;
 
class GFG {
     
// Function to count the number of
// characters whose ascii value is less than k
static int CountCharacters(String str, int k)
{
    // Initialising the count to 0
    int cnt = 0;
 
    int len = str.length();
    for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
        // Incrementing the count
        // if the value is less
        if (((int)str.charAt(i)) < k)
            cnt++;
    }
 
    // return the count
    return cnt;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String args[])
{
    String str = "GeeksForGeeks";
    int k = 90;
 
    int count = CountCharacters(str, k);
    System.out.println("Characters with ASCII values less than K are "+count);
 
    System.out.println("Characters with ASCII values greater than or equal to K are "+(str.length() - count));
 
}
}

    for i in range(l):
         
        # Incrementing the count
        # if the value is less
        if (ord(str[i]) < k):
            cnt += 1
 
    # return the count

    str = "GeeksForGeeks"
    k = 90
 
    count = CountCharacters(str, k)

                "less than K are", count)
 
    print ("Characters with ASCII values",
           "greater than or equal to K are",
                           len(str) - count)

Output:

Characters with ASCII values less than K are 3
Characters with ASCII values greater than or equal to K are 10
