Count characters of a text file












0














This program counts the number of the occurence of each character that is used in a file.



I tried to use everything that Java offers to me properly. If you have tips which library functions would have been better, how to make the code more readable, than let me know. If you have a tip how to improve the performance I would be very thankful, also if the readability would decrease than.



import java.util.Map;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Main {
public static void main(String args) {
if (args[0].contains("help")) {
System.out.println("usage: java Main filename.txt");
}

Map<Character, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
char chars = fileToCharList(args[0]);
for (int i = 0; i < chars.length; i++) {
if (map.containsKey(chars[i])) {
Integer number = map.get(chars[i]);
map.put(chars[i], ++number);

} else {
map.put(chars[i], 1);
}
}

for (Map.Entry<Character, Integer> entry : map.entrySet()) {
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + ": " + entry.
getValue());
}
}

private static char fileToCharList(String fileName) {
File file = new File(fileName);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(
file))) {
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return sb.toString().toCharArray();
}
}
