Javascript Practice Problems: Count Characters in String

Welcome to another Javascript Practice Problems for Complete Beginners video where we will discuss solving the problem of "how do we count the number of characters in a string". Luckily, Javascript's objects can easily be used to build up a histogram, so we can solve this with a simple loop and object.

Feel free to leave feedback or ask questions!

Thanks for watching.

Great tutorial, keep posting bro.
ps. it will be great if you can zoom the text part and make it bigger in the screen
sublime u can use (ctr+) to zoom in (ctr-) to zoom out

Please create more algorithms in JavaScript, you are having brilliant teaching skill, thanks a lot in Advance!!

Whoah, really liked it! Specially the parts about going back and refactoring... Only please embiggen the font size on the editor or zoom in so the code can be seen more clearly, thanks

Hi sir, great tutorial, i have one doubt can you please tell me how can i sort object keys so that they will be in alphabetical order?

[elysel]

Thanks! can you zoom in for future videos?

Great tutorial - thank you very much. I'm confused, why are you using const (and not var), please ?

[sathyaramesh]

All brilliant people seem to be left handed ....

Usually ! is outside the conditional such as "! (histogram[ch]) vs (! histogram[ch])". Can someone explain? My guess is it's because inside the for loop he declared the variable "const ch = string[i]" above the conditional "if (! histogram[ch]) { histogram[ch] = 0" so it works I guess? I'm doing a coding bootcamp lol. Still learning :)

[parvathisachin]

iam sorry how did you assign histogram[ch] when histogram is empty array?

[bunnybloods]

Why should you return histogram at the end of code.please explain very deep

[pranavanand]

try to write smaller and reduce font size.
as we are dependent on screen rather than meditations and telepathy, we should stress our eyes more

[bobbysilver]

Writing less code as a primary aim by using shortened versions of the code etc. really bugs me sometimes. For the sake of a few extra lines why not do it a slightly longer way and make the code FAR more readable.

Not for complete beginners, many intermediate can't solve
