How to count occurrences of a letter?

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
The question is as follows: a. Your job is to write a function called CrazyGrade that will take in the string and flip the grades according to the following specifications: A becomes F B becomes D C remains unchanged D becomes B F becomes A Y becomes W Your function should take in a string as an input argument and return the inverted string as an output argument. You may assume that the input string will only consist of valid letter grades.
b. * To make matters worse, he wants you to tell him his grade distribution. So write a second function GradeDist to return the number of A's, B's, etc. So if there are 4 A's, 16 B's, 18 C's, 10 D's, 4 F's, and 3 W's, your function should return [4 16 18 10 4 3].*
I am working on part b but cannot figure out how to count the occurences with what I have so far. my code so far looks as follows:
clc,clear
oldgrade=input('Enter letter grades (without spaces in between) ','s');
x=sscanf(oldgrade, '%c'); for i=1 : length(x)
switch x(i)
case {'a','A'}
grade = 'F';
case {'b','B'}
grade = 'D';
case {'c','C'}
grade = 'C';
case {'d','D'}
grade = 'B';
case {'f','F'}
grade = 'A';
case {'y','Y'}
grade = 'W';
end
fprintf('%s %s,', grade)
end

A quick and dirty solution could be
F_count=0;
switch x(i)
case {'a','A'}
grade = 'F';
F_count=F_count+1;
etc.
There are probably much more efficient solutions, though.

The histc function is your friend for the second part. Note that it takes alphanumeric inputs for both the data and the bin ranges.
