Write a program in C to find maximum occurring character in a string.
Test Data :
Input the string : Welcome to w3resource.com.
Expected Output :
The Highest frequency of character e appears number of times : 4
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define str_size 100 //Declare the maximum size of the string
#define chr_no 255 //Maximum number of characters to be allowed
void main()
{
char str[str_size];
int ch_fre[chr_no];
int i = 0, max;
int ascii;
printf("
Find maximum occurring character in a string :
");
printf("--------------------------------------------------
");
printf("Input the string : ");
fgets(str, sizeof str, stdin);
for(i=0; i<chr_no; i++) //Set frequency of all characters to 0
{
ch_fre[i] = 0;
}
/* Read for frequency of each characters */
i=0;
while(str[i] != )
{
ascii = (int)str[i];
ch_fre[ascii] += 1;
i++;
}
max = 0;
for(i=0; i<chr_no; i++)
{
if(i!=32)
{
if(ch_fre[i] > ch_fre[max])
max = i;
}
}
printf("The Highest frequency of character %c appears number of times : %d
", max, ch_fre[max]);
