Counting specific character in multiple strings

[rdevivo93]

I am trying to write a program that counts the amount of occurrences the letter 'b' appears in every string i type and hit enter. And will display it after i enter the word stop. As of now it keeps displaying zero.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int count=0;
	string str1;
	char inChar;


	cout << "Enter a word: ";
	getline(cin,  str1);
	while(str1!="stop")
	{
		cin.get(inChar);
			
			while (inChar != '\n')
			{
			if(inChar == 'b')
				count++;
			cin.get(inChar);
			}
			cout << "Enter a word: ";
			getline(cin, str1);
	}
	cout << count;

	system("pause");
}

for(auto it = str1.begin(); it != str1.end(); ++it)
  if((*it) == 'b' || (*it) == 'B')
    count++;

:p

i wish it were that easy. we haven't learned that far in class. All we have basically done are if statements and while loops. Plus all the preceding obvious stuff. No arrays or vectors either:(

while (getline(cin, str1)) {
    for (int p = 0; p < str1.length(); p++) {
        if (str1[p] /*fill in the rest*/) {
            /* you decide what goes here */
        }
    }
}

I haven't learned for statements yet.

This is exactly the same as a for loop:

int i = 0;
while(i<max)
{
  //...
  i++
}
