Count Uppercase, Lowercase, special character and numeric values

Difficulty Level : Easy
Last Updated : 19 Apr, 2021

Given a string, write a program to count the occurrence of Lowercase characters, Uppercase characters, Special characters, and Numeric values.
Examples:

Input : #GeeKs01fOr@gEEks07
Output : 
Upper case letters : 5
Lower case letters : 8
Numbers : 4
Special Characters : 2

Input : *GeEkS4GeEkS*
Output :
Upper case letters : 6
Lower case letters : 4
Numbers : 1
Special Characters : 2

Approach :

Scan string str from 0 to length-1.
check one character at a time on the basis of ASCII values
- if(str[i] >= 65 and str[i] <=90), then it is uppercase letter,
- if(str[i] >= 97 and str[i] <=122), then it is lowercase letter,
- if(str[i] >= 48 and str[i] <=57), then it is number,
- else it is a special character
Print all the counters.

C++

// C++ program to count the uppercase,
// lowercase, special characters

// Function to count uppercase, lowercase,
// special characters and numbers

{
    int upper = 0, lower = 0, number = 0, special = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++)
    {
        if (str[i] >= 'A' && str[i] <= 'Z')
            upper++;
        else if (str[i] >= 'a' && str[i] <= 'z')
            lower++;
        else if (str[i]>= '0' && str[i]<= '9')
            number++;
        else
            special++;

    cout << "Number : " << number << endl;
    cout << "Special characters : " << special << endl;
