Array help

[tummytums]

I am generating random characters (A-Z) and I am trying to figure out how to count the amount of times each character appears. I believe what I need to do is put the generated letters into an array but I am not sure how to do that and then I am not sure where to go after that. Any help would be appreciated!!

const int NbLetters = 'Z' - 'A' + 1; // It'll be 26

int CharCount[NbLetters] = {0};

while (true)
{
    // Generate random letter between 'A' and 'Z'
    char somechar = char(rand() % NbLetters) + 'A';

    ++CharCount[someChar - 'A'];
}

Or a little simpler:

int CharCount[26] = {0};
while (true)
{
    ++CharCount[rand()%26];
}

Then to interpret the results:

for (char letter = 'A'; letter <= 'Z'; ++letter)
    cout << "The letter " << letter << " appeared " << CharCount[letter - 'A'] << " times.\n";
